|
The conscience is the part of a person's thinking through which God makes him aware that he is doing something sinful. God gives him an inner understanding about what is right or wrong.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* God gave people a conscience to help them know the difference between what is right and what is wrong.
|
||
|
|
* A person who obeys God is said to have a "pure" or "clear" or "clean" conscience.
|
||
|
|
* If someone ignores their conscience and no longer feel guilty when he sins, the Bible calls this a "seared" or "insensitive" or "polluted" conscience.

|
|
* This word may need to be translated with a phrase, depending on the context.
