Cultivate a good conscience.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:” 
1 Timothy 1:18-19(KJV) 

In our opening scripture, Paul the Apostle admonishes Timothy his son in the gospel to hold faith and a good conscience. This is important because some Christians have their conscience filled with guilt. The reason is because they have allowed certain compromise in their lives, in other words, there are certain things they do that makes their conscience hunt them. It is important you understand that your conscience is your inward monitor.

For instance in John 8 when they brought the woman that was caught in the very act of adultery to Jesus demanding that He should give them a verdict on whether or not they should stone her, He said to them in John 8:7, “…He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Then the Bible says in John 8:9, “And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.” This shows us that this people themselves who wanted to condemn this woman to death were not living right, because they were convicted by their own conscience.

Child of God I encourage you to continue holding on to your faith. Continue to produce supernatural results by your faith. But there is one virtue you must not leave out, a good conscience. If you don't cultivate a good conscience now, and you continue to allow compromise in your life, you will make a mess of your faith at the end. 1 Timothy 1:19(MSG) says, “keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we're in. There are some, you know, who by relaxing their grip and thinking anything goes have made a thorough mess of their faith.”
