How to Have a Clear Conscience - August 30, 2020

It is important to have a clear conscience. A clear conscience means that you have an inner freedom that comes from knowing that God’s holiness is not offended by your attitudes, thoughts and actions, and that no one can point a finger at you and say, “You’ve offended me, and you’ve never asked for my forgiveness.” There are several things that you need to do to have a clear conscience. The first is to repent of your sin and ask God to forgive you. The second is what we talked about last week: you need to forgive those who have offended you. And the third thing is our subject for today: if you have committed an offense against someone else, you need to ask that person to forgive you. Asking for forgiveness is one of the most difficult things that you will ever do. So I want to give you some practical suggestions to help you with this difficult, but essential, task. This material is not original with me. It comes from the Bible, and from a seminar on basic life principles that I attended years ago.
