Bible Question:
Let us not forget the verse we are discussing Hebrews 10:14. According to this verse we have already been made perfect, and are BEING made holy. I use the two words interchangeably sometimes, and perhaps I should more correctly be talking about holiness. We are already perfect by Christ's one sacrifice. Conscience and guilt, however, are different matters. Plug the keywords into Biblegateway, and, with regard to conscience, you will find that Paul declared that his conscience was clear: "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me." and again "Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace." With regard to guilt, in Hebrews 10:22 it says "...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." Listen to your conscience, and surrender the things that are holding you back from victory in Jesus Christ. He wants to overcome the world for you if you will let him. There are rewards for you if you do. Read Revelation 2 and 3! I'm not making this stuff up. Please do not take my word for it, but research it yourself. Why not? |
Bible Answer: If you interchangeably use holy and perfect ... are you looking at the Greek? |
