Conscience, 31

 ~ Realize There Are Deceivers, 1 ~

 

Series Note ~ The conscience plays a crucial role in human behavior.  The Scripture has much to say about our conscience.  In posts 1—20 of this series, we looked at various descriptions of conscience.  In posts 21—25 we looked at the Big Four Emotional factors that have a very negative impact on our consciences.  Finally starting with post 26 we look at dangers to the conscience. 

 

Scripture ~ God is light and Satan tries to imitate Him.

 

True ~ “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:5-7). 

 

Fake ~ “But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.  And no wonder!  For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.  Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works” (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

 

Note ~ The author has written about and showed parallels between many characteristics of natural light compared to spiritual light.  “GOD’S NATURE: Sonlight Sunlight” (https://books2read.com/GodsNature).

 

Solution ~ Know God not just know about God.  Be intimate with Him.  If you need assistance, I suggest the websites www.HeavenOrNot.org or www.three-two-one.org.

 

Question ~ On a scale of 1-10 (10 is the best) how is our intimacy with God?
