In Acts 24:16 Paul the apostle said, “So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man. ”  Later in 1 Timothy 1:19 he told Timothy, “holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith.”  We can see from these verses and others that the conscience is no small thing. Whether it’s keeping a clear conscience in our walk with Christ.  Or having a properly informed conscience from the Word of God.  Above all, having a cleansed conscience by the blood of Christ.

  • 1Ti 1:19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,
  • Titus 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.

A weak and constantly accusing conscience is a spiritual liability, not a strength. Many people with especially tender consciences tend to display their overscrupulousness as if it were proof of deep spirituality. It is precisely the opposite.

John MacArthur, The Vanishing Conscience, pg. 46

Ironically, a weak conscience is more likely to accuse than a strong conscience. Scripture calls this a weak conscience because it is too easily wounded.

John MacArthur, The Vanishing Conscience, pg. 43

A cleansed conscience is not a conscience that managed to forget guilt, it’s a conscience that has experienced guilt dealt with by the price being fully paid at the Cross.
