A Tamed Conscience

ROMANS 2:15-16 - They show that the work of the law is ywritten on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, aaccording to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. 

What we call conscience is not a reliable guide. They can both accuse or excuse us depending on what we feed it daily. When someone tells us "just listen what your heart tells you", we are taking a huge risk heading that advice. For as intelligent being, we can slowly but surely tame our conscience to become our defence attorney rather than prosecutor. In longer-term, categories of sin no longer exist in our mind. Sinners become oblivious of sins. Folks, conscience is flaky. Go to Christ, the Incarnate Flesh, instead. Everything will be laid openly before the judgement seat of Christ one day.
