And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; (1 Peter 3:13-14)

 

The Bible emphasizes the good conscience of Christians in many scriptural phrases. In fact, it can weigh on believers who grew up by knowing Christ, because ‘a conscience’ depends on feelings. They think that they must hide their feelings and follow only the teaching of the Bible. Living with a good conscience doesn’t mean making light of knowing him. It needs more attention, because our good conscience starts at knowing and understanding the Bible.

 

There is something that people who live in the words of God get to meet. It is the time of hardships. If they don’t go through this time, they can never get a healthy faith. Some people expect a victory without sufferings. They hope that all goes well, and that difficulties will keep out of them. However, Christians who want to live a sincere life will greet the time of hardships invariably.

 

Yet we have no need to be worry about these times, because it will be a chance we can be confident of our faith in the face of the Lord. Even if you are going through the hard times at present, you can find yourself getting more mature in the course of time. Moreover, these times will give a power that we can overcome any ordeals.

 

Don’t fear about adversities, and don’t get uneasy about it. If there is the worst circumstance, ‘death’ in your presence, you need not to be discouraged, because we will receive compensations from God for our sufferings in the world. If we lead a religious life without hardships, we can’t look forward to receive anything from him. It goes same to a student who doesn’t study wants to win an award for score excellence.

 

Stephen felt happy in his moment of death, and prayed for people who aim a stone at him. Also Paul said, ‘I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus’ when he proceeded to Jerusalem. The reason that they can be happy in their hard time is that they expect their compensations and good conscience. The thing which makes us confident is to live according to good conscience from knowing the words of the Lord. Make an effort to have a good conscience.
