Conscience

As a final address that Samuel gives Israel, he proclaims. 1Sam:12:5

The Lord and His anointed one are my witnesses today, that my hands are clean.

Is your conscience clean?

Things which you alone know, which only God has seen.

Can you stand before the throne and say my hands are clean, before a God who says, if you have looked lustfully at a woman, you have committed adultery and if you have called your brother "fool" you would stand before judgement? He also says, If you have faltered in one, you have broken all.

Psalm:7:9 For you look deep within the mind and heart,O righteous God

A God who knows the intent and motive and purpose of our actions. We wouldn't be able to stand before Him.

Yes all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

We all will stand with heads bowed and faces down before the all knowing God.

It's easy to point fingers at the man, whose wife committed suicide, because of issues related to dowry. It's easy to point fingers at the husband who commits domestic violence. It's easy to point finger at the drunkard who abuses his very own child.

But by nature we are all the same. We all commit murder, violence, adultery, covetousness and jealousy in our minds. There is only One who could judge us all.

Heb:4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet He did not sin.

Only one whose conscience was absolutely clear.

All we have to do is to just trust in Him for our salvation. Because He paid the penalty and we have been really redeemed. The precious salvation He has to offer, is it yours yet?
