Our consciences require
regulating, as do all the other features of our fallen nature. If
our consciences are to be regulated, we must have some standard by
which to set and regulate them. The conscience is like a watch whose
dial is properly marked with the hours, but whose correctness as a
time-keeper depends upon the proper regulating of its mainspring, so
that it may point out the hours truthfully; so, our consciences are
ready to indicate right and wrong to us, but they can only be relied
upon to tell us truly what is right and what is wrong after being
regulated in connection with the new mainspring, the new heart, the
pure will, brought into full harmony with the law of love, as
presented to us in the Word of
God. |
