Our Clear Conscience

 

Text: Hebrews 9:14(KJV)

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

In this journey of life, there are some behavioural patterns which we cannot stop by our efforts but his blood has done it. 1Peter2:24 “He himself bore our sin” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness, “by his wounds you have been healed.” Even with all the efforts and motivational tips we hear today, we still end up fighting with those patterns, but here is the good news, due to the death and the blood of Jesus, we can be free from those patterns because His blood purges our conscience from every dead works. The dead works entails carnal things which can never please God because they are not spiritually minded and are against God’s commandment. They are fleshly things which are enmity to God. Romans 8:8- So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. The amazing fact is, our involvement with Christ takes away every condemnation because of the old life of walking after the flesh. So this means all those guilt and condemnations which are hindering our services are dropped which makes us no more slaves to those dead works.

Remember, if there are dead works that means there should also be good works. And Christ is the originator of good deeds. Be encouraged because He has purged our thoughts and imaginations, so that we can yield good products. Proverbs 16:25- There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Those dead works leads to destruction while good works leads to life and peace. The blood of Jesus has redeemed us; without it all efforts are worthless because our conscience is now clear. Ephesians 1:7- In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. So always remind yourself that you are blameless and spotless by His blood in Jesus name.
