Conscience
A simple definition of conscience is that it is a conviction or being conscious of a custom. From a Christian perspective a conscience is all about having God’s standard in our heart to guide us in how we conduct ourselves.
The Bible tells us that everyone has a conscience. God’s standards are written on everyone’s hearts. It is just that everyone does not follow the conscience that God gave to all of mankind. Jesus provids us the ultimate standard that our conscience should follow.
Our Conscience is a Standard To Live By.
Acts 24:16
