Clear Conscience

Reading 2 Timothy 1:3 this morning gives me hope. Paul writes “I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience”. I think about Paul’s life; the things he had done against the Gospel; how he was probably one of the chief murderers of Christians in his day, and yet Paul could write his last letter to Timothy with a clear conscience. It gives me hope.

My sins are many and many are continuous sins, yet I can write this blog with a clear conscience. I can continue piecing together my message for Sunday without the guilt of sin discouraging or distracting me. Not because I am holy or worthy on my own, but because Jesus truly paid the price for my liberty He has wiped my slate clean. My debt has been paid. I can live in victory knowing that I am right with my Creator.

Today may I not be burdened by the junk of my past but may I live to please the One who has set me free.
