Conscience:
Hebrews 10:22
22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with
pure water.
Whenever they touched a dead body in
the Old Covenant, they had to be sprinkled with pure water prepared in a
special way. They could then after a short time be considered clean. They could
not participate in anything spiritual until they followed the formula for
cleansing that God had established. They couldn’t come before God and have
their sacrifices acceptable until then.
When we made Jesus Lord of our
lives, our hearts were sprinkled clean from all the evil our old (now dead) man
had done. Our conscience was now clear. We hadn’t done those evil things. Our
old man did them. Now we can come near to God with a sincere heart, being fully
assured that we are acceptable to Him.
If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would
say:
"You
can before boldly, My children because you have been bought with a price. It is
a price of untold riches. It is a price of untold grace. It is a price of
untold boldness. It is a price of untold suffering. You are not some unwelcome
piece of trash, but one of delightful longing. I have desired to know you from
the beginning of time, but it is only recently that you have come to know Me.
You are Mine from the beginning of Creation, but you are just recently My
special one. You have known My grace and you will know My favor as you rest in
My love for you. You shall not know hardship as My Son knew hardship on the
cross. But you shall know My love in your heart for you have come unto Me and
have accepted Me as your Savior.”
63. My heart has been
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience. Therefore, I can trust it when it
tells me that I have done something right or something wrong.
