CONSCIENCE Webster defines conscience to be, “The knowledge of our acts, states, or characters, as right or wrong; the faculty, power, or principle, which decides on the lawfulness of our actions and affections, and approves or condemns them; the moral faculty; the moral sense.” Blackstone writes of a “Court of conscience, established for the recovery of small debts, in London, or other trading cities or districts.” Whewell says that “Conscience is the reason, employed about questions of right and wrong, and accompanied with the sentiments of approbation and condemnation.” Shakespeare: “Conscience makes cowards of us all.” The Bible tells us a great deal about conscience: 1. We read of a seared cbnscience, 1 Tim. 4:2. 2. An awakened conscience, John 8:9. 3. A purged conscience, Heb. 9:9; 9:14; 10:2; 10:22. 4.
