Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:19-20 - Faith & Good Conscience

A good conscience means that we are what we declare ourselves to be. H.L. Mencken, 20th century American journalist, essayist, and satirist, defined conscience as “the inner voice which warns us that somebody may be looking.” Morally speaking, you act the same when you are alone as at other times.Faith and a good conscience are three times joined together in this Epistle, showing the inseparable connection between faith and morals. If you claim to know Christ and even have strong Biblical doctrinal beliefs, you are deceived if your morals aren’t also Biblical.
