Nothing defiled will enter Heaven. WHAT IS A GOOD CONSCIENCE? 1 A living and sensitive conscience: One that receives the witness of the Holy Spirit. It can be pricked by truth. “1 say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 9:1). 2. A knowledgeable and stable conscience: This is the kind that stands on the truth of the Word of God “Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled” (1 Corinthians 8:7). 3. A mature and sacrificial conscience: This is a kind that considers and understands the weaker believer; and lives sacrificially to help others become stronger in faith.

Strength to love and forgive others. “Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned” ( 1 Timothy 1:5). >Brethren, endeavour to have a good conscience by being cleansed and convicted in the Word of God.
