The key to serving the Lord is maintaining a good conscience. Without a good conscience, our faith leaks out, and a conscience full of offense invites the enemy’s accusations. Therefore, we need Christ as the breastplate of righteousness to protect our conscience. 1 Timothy 1:5 speaks of a pure heart, a good conscience, and unfeigned faith. A good conscience and unfeigned faith go together, and such faith purifies the heart. Hence, serving the Lord is a matter of our person being right. Moreover, 1 Timothy 3:9 reveals that we hold on to the mystery of the faith by having a pure conscience; such a person is able transmit life into others. On the contrary, 1 Timothy 4:2 talks about men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron. This is a conscience which has lost feeling, and it is a very dangerous place to be in. As we are serving we have to deal with and maintain a good conscience so that we can be a person full of faith in the Lord. And it is by this that we can serve Him and minister to His people.
