2 Corinthians 1:12-14

Do you have a... CLEAR CONSCIENCE?
ACTS 23:1 (NLT)
“... I have always lived before God with a clear conscience!”
ACTS 24:16 (NIV)
“... I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.”
1 TIMOTHY 1:19 (GNT)
“and keep your faith and have a clear conscience.”
1 TIMOTHY 3:9 (NLT)
“... must live with a clear conscience.”

Let’s learn about our conscience from the charges against Paul...

1st Charge Paul has hidden sin in his life...

2 Corinthians 1:12 (NLT)
“We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.”
2nd Charge Paul takes advantage of people...

2 Corinthians 1:13-14a (NLT)
“Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can’t understand. I hope someday you will fully understand us, even if you don’t understand us now.”
3rd Charge Paul is the false teacher...

2 Corinthians 1:14b (NLT)
“Then on the day when the Lord Jesus returns, you will be proud of us in the same way we are proud of you.”

2 Corinthians 5:10 (NLT)
“For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.”
5 things to consider to have... keep... a clear conscience...
1. Learn... Meditate... Obey... The Word of God...
Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”

2. Pray...
Philippians 4:6-7a (NLT)
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace...”

3. Realize the seriousness sin... Purpose not to sin...
Colossians 3:5-6;8 (MSG)
“And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy.
God is about to explode in anger. You know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk.”

4. Resist the... First Temptation...
James 1:14-15 (NLT)
“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

5. Confess and Repent of your Sins...
1 John 1:9 (ESV)
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
The Drive Home

“Will I purpose to have a clear conscience?”
