The Cross, Your Conscience, And Sharing Jesus With Others
Your conscience is the part of your mind that determines what is right and wrong. We were born in sin. And therefore, we are aware of what is good and evil. This is the part of us that is created in the image of God. We are therefore able to know what is good for us and what is bad for us. However, through life experience and upbringing, our conscience can be seared. The traumas and hurts in life can alter our conscience. Some have experienced severe abuse and rejection and their conscience has become dull. Unforgiveness can also deaden our conscience. Jesus came to set the captive free; he did so on the Cross. And we are those captives he came for – captive to our sinful natures.

The Cross Holds The Solution

Jesus, through His death on the Cross, came with the solution. His death on the Cross paid the price for our redemption from the curse and power of sin. His death resulted in our conscience becoming alive to the need for salvation. This is the Gospel in a nutshell. We become sin conscious and therefore our conscience convicts us of our sin. The Bible states that we were dead in our sins. It is our responsibility to make His salvation known both to the Jew and the Gentile. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Sharing Jesus With Others

Our destiny is to share in God’s glory. This is how God planned it from the beginning. However, sin entered our lives through the fall of man, but God’s redemption plan was to send Jesus to die for us. His death served to reverse the course of our lives and redeem us from eternal death. Praise God for His eternal plan of salvation. Our conscience can now help us in our daily walk to choose what is right and good. There is no other way a man can be saved but through the Cross!
I challenge you to share your salvation through Jesus with someone today. Open someone else’s eyes and heart to God’s redemptive power, His love, and His glory.
