Sin is much more than a word in the dictionary. It is a powerful evil that damages our lives and our world. Conscience is a marvellous gift from God, the window that lets in the light of God’s truth. If we sin against God deliberately, that window becomes dirty, and not as much truth can filter through. The Bible calls this is a defiled, seared conscience.
God wants truth in our inner being. David confessed his sin before God because he wanted to see God again—in nature, in His Word and in the temple.
Do you keep a clean conscience? It is a part of your inner being that response to God’s truth. When you sin, the window for your conscience becomes dirty and filter out truth. Avoid sin in your life and live with a clean conscience.
