2Tm1

What does it mean to serve God with a "clear conscience"? Simply put, it means that there is no one who can say, "You wronged me but never did anything to make it right." It is taking responsibility for our sin.

Without a clear conscience guilt will continue to rob our joy. It is one thing to ask for God's forgiveness, it is a completely different thing to seek the forgiveness of others. If we desire to serve God, He will lead us to have a clear conscience. Making things right is a big part of walking in faith.

In Paul's first letter to Timothy he explains that "some having rejected a clear conscience and have shipwrecked their faith." One way our love for God is expressed is in our willingness to work for right relationships with others. Especially those we have wronged. Having a clear conscience is a freeing reality.

Work to bring relational healing today.
