Conscience and Insight

1 Corinthians 12:4&8                       New English Translation

 

4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and 

another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit …

 

“Knowledge” comes in degrees, degrees of good and evil

Then vision comes into play in how instruction was received

Standards not set by others but an accepted, universal way

to the level here written in the heart and so easily perceived

 

So to the degree known to him, one can have expectations

Only up to a point thus far as it is then to be understood

So if one lives for the Will of God and that understanding

Then fellowship with the Savior has to be peaceful and good

 

God only searches gently throughout the attitude to do His Will

He already knows for sure how much we genuinely understand

If we earnestly seek and hunger to obey His Heart’s desires

Then a solid fellowship follows as we’re holding His Hand
