How to Keep a Peaceful Conscience?નમૂનો

Anyone who wants to console their troubled conscience must first find peace with God, and that only happens when we are forgiven of our sins through repentance. Only then do we reconcile with ourselves.

Jesus said to the paralytic: “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven”, Matthew 9:2. He didn’t say: “Rejoice, I return your health”, though, of course, He also healed him physically. Before physical healing, the man needed to recover his inner peace through the forgiveness of his sins. Physical healing without that inner peace would have been as useless as a flower to someone on their way to execution.

Jesus knew that the only thing that would change that man’s spirit was the forgiveness of his sins. Offering a rose to someone on death row would be pointless as they head towards death. The only thing that would restore peace is the news of a pardon. Do you see it? Without God’s forgiving grace, we cannot have true peace in our conscience.
