A Clear Conscience (Psalm 119:6) | Charles Spurgeon

Deep Dive into A Clear Conscience (Psalm 119:6) by Charles SpurgeonCharles Spurgeon's sermon on Psalm 119:6 explores the Christian's pursuit of a clear conscience through universal obedience to God. Spurgeon first clarifies that attempting to achieve salvation by keeping the law is both impossible and contrary to the gospel. Salvation is attained solely by faith, and trying to earn eternal life through works of the flesh is a futile endeavor that will ultimately lead to shame.However, once a person is saved and justified by faith, their heart is transformed, giving them a strong ambition to obey God out of gratitude for the grace they have received. While Christians are freed from the curse of the law, they remain under the loving discipline of their heavenly Father, who provides loving approbation for obedience and chastisement for waywardness.A central theme of the sermon is the necessity of universal obedience, which means believers must respect and strive to keep all of God's commandments rather than picking and choosing only those that are convenient or pleasurable. Spurgeon warns that true blessedness requires an active, habitual pursuit of holy living that blends pure theology with practical moral integrity. This comprehensive obedience must encompass both spiritual devotion to God and ethical behavior toward others, cautioning against individuals who claim high spiritual status but fail in basic honesty, business ethics, or family duties. Furthermore, believers must seek to uncover and obey even the commands they do not yet know by diligently studying the Scriptures.The ultimate reward for this comprehensive, sincere obedience is the removal of shame. When believers earnestly seek to follow all of God's precepts, they are not ashamed before the world's criticism or false accusations. Furthermore, they do not feel internal shame when reading the rich promises of Scripture, and they can boldly fulfill their duties to testify to others. Most importantly, a clear conscience allows believers to approach their heavenly Father in prayer with confidence, enjoying unbroken fellowship and resting completely in the righteousness of Christ.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
