Conscience is an awareness of the rightness or wrongness of our intentions or actions. We all have a conscience, but it needs to be enlightened and educated. We might justify wrong conduct if the conscience is inactive, or wrongly instructed.

An example is the case of the apostle Paul who, before his conversion, thought it right to persecute the Christians to imprisonment and death. After the intervention of Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus he realised his error and changed his ways completely (see Galatians 1:11-14).

The writer to the Hebrews advises: "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. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds." (Hebrews 10:22-24).
