Define Conscience - a Standard To Live By

Acts 24:16. A simple definition of conscience is conviction or being conscious of a custom. From a Christian perspective a conscience is all about having God's standard in our heart to guide us in how we conduct ourselves. Our conscience has the highest standard we know. Ideally, this standard aligns with God's standard. God's standard and His purpose for us is to love Him and to provide unmerited favor toward all men in secret and in public. (Acts 24:16, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men"). Our conscience is the eye of our soul that continuously looks to God or what we regard as the highest standard in how we conduct our lives.

ACTS 24 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Acts 24:16, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men."
