The Neglected Conscience - Part 3: How Do I Get My Conscience To Function Properly?
Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-25
Transformative Truth:
For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
- Hebrews 10:22
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
- 1 Peter 3:21-22
For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture.
The Calibration of the Conscience
Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason – I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other – my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their power of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
- Hebrews 5:14

The Conditions of the Conscience
1. Those who have a guilty conscience and know it.
2. Those who have a guilty conscience and don’t know it.
3. Those who have a purified conscience and know it.
4. Those who have a purified conscience and don’t know it.
By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.
- 1 John 3:20
