It is easy to try and ignore our conscience but in the end, it will accuse us and rob us of our confidence in the Lord. We must remember that even though we have been saved by grace and our sins have been forgiven, the Word teaches us that deliberately doing what we know to be wrong, will violate our consciences - weakening our faith, and thereby causing our prayers to be powerless and our lives fruitless. Let's stop deliberately doing what we know is wrong, it will only lead us on a downward spiral of misery and defeat. Instead, let's avoid causing our faith to be shipwrecked, and enjoy a glorious life of freedom and victory as we pursue the things of the Spirit and not the flesh.
