INTRO: Remember Our consciences are the inner courts in our hearts that hold us accountable to the right and wrong we believe. But our consciences are only good at judging us if they are well-informed by Scripture, and we’re repenting and believing in Christ. Sin has warped all creation, including our consciences. We need Jesus! For, apart from turning to Christ to cleanse our evil consciences, they will not be biblically informed by the Holy Spirit, to where our consciences can accurately and faithfully judge us, keep us from harm, and spur us to loving obedience and faithfulness to God.

Think of your conscience as like playing a new sport or game for the first time. You begin, and you do not know the rules. But, as you play, your conscience is informed what the rules are, and you begin to change how you play as you’re better informed.

How do we do all things to the glory of God?

We do all things to the glory of God by. . .

v.23 - 1. Being helpful and encouraging.

v.24 - 2. Exalting our neighbors above ourselves.

v.25-27 – 3. Not seeking the world’s approval.

v.28-30 – 4. Not needlessly wounding other people’s consciences.

v.31-33 – 5. Limiting our freedom for God’s glory and the salvation of many.
