Proverbs of a 40 yr old man
A law unto themselves. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. People know something about God’s standards.
They have a conscience. This conscience is not as good as the written law. Sometimes the conscience shows a person about that person’s sin. But sometimes the conscience does not accuse that person, and the person does not feel guilty. However, the simple fact that the conscience exists shows the truth of God’s law. Because of conscience, people are aware that there is a difference between right and wrong behaviour. Sin must not be justified with a shrug and a “nobody’s perfect.” Every act of sin is an example of lawlessness because it is a violation of God’s standard of holiness and His perfect character. God’s judgement will be fair because he knows every secret in a person’s life. He has a true knowledge about the facts. He also knows the reasons for an action. Amen. So in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
