Do you really know the truth, or is your conscience
telling you something else?
October’s
Awakening, Day 15:
Both tradition and truth inform the conscience, so
the standards it holds you to are not necessarily biblical ones. The conscience
can be needlessly condemning in areas where there is no biblical issue. In
fact, it can try to hold you to the very thing the Lord is trying to release
you from!
-John MacArthur
Start believing the Word of God over our feelings.
The truth always overrides our feelings. Find the truth in the scriptures.
-Joyce Meyer
Is your conscience constantly condemning you with guilt
and shame, or a negative self-image, such that you feel unworthy and that you’ll
never amount to anything? That’s not truth, and that’s not from the Word of
God. That is an erroneous mindset placed within you by those who don’t know the
truth themselves. That’s what MacArthur calls “tradition.” Tradition is
anything you’ve learned from any source outside of the Bible. Tradition may be
very true and beneficial, or it may wreak of error, inconsistency, and
distortion that chain and bind your mind to lies.
You must reconnect to Truth and stay connected with Him.
You must begin to see yourself as He sees you and walk in that every day. You
were divinely created and you are infinitely valuable to Him, and He wants you
to live in His truth.
