1 Timothy 1:5 5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. 

Conscience has always the same purpose.

 

The conscience is the current standard of God’s leading

We really need to submit to conscience for otherwise we sin

God judges through conscience or brings a state of evaluation

To guide and direct directly to where I should have been.

 

Young Christians’ great advantage to follow whole heartily

With a conscience so sensitive and moved so easily by The Lord

The Holy Spirit guides them without interruptions

Towards an ability to keep the heart and mind in accord

 

Older believers have gathered so much knowledge

They tend to overdevelop ... all issues through the mind

It numbs their sensitivity ... and as conscience moves aside

To so be immovable ... in the fight against “deaf and blind”

 

This is the fatal blow ... to what could be a spiritual life

Knowledge becomes the standard ... as an escape from flesh

So to believe in settled joy ... deep in the bones of our existence

And then without hesitation ... we’re becoming like the “rest”

 

Conscience and knowledge can prove quite conflicting

We can be quite disturbed even doing the “what’s legit”

According to “the truth” ... that we just have acquired

Through our search and intellect and that is not all of it

 

Conscience should be lead by intuition of the Spirit

It is God’s way to communicate the things He desires

He is not interested in what we know ... but how we live it

For the “knower” is not justified ... but the doer He admires.
