#EaglesDevotional - THE BLOOD COVENANT (9)- CONSCIENCE

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”     (Hebrew. 9:14)

The conscience is that part of your mind that tells you whether your actions are right or wrong. You as a born again Christian cannot have a dead conscience. Your conscience must be alive.

Dead works are basically the works of the flesh but when the blood of Jesus purges us, it sets us free from acting on these works. This does not mean that evil thoughts cannot come to your mind sometimes, but when your conscience is purged, you will not give heed to them.

It is the blood and its repeated washing that purges us and keeps our conscience free from guilt so we can serve the living God in spirit and in truth. “… Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water” (Hebrews 10:22). Whatever we have done and will ever do wrong, the blood of Jesus purges our conscience. 

You do not have to allow the devil pull strings on your heart, you are clean, the blood sets you free, your conscience is free before God.

Prayer/Confession: My mind is free from dead works. My mind is free from fear. I am full of faith, peace and joy. Guilt has no place in me. The blood purges me, I have a clear conscience because I do right.
Further Reading: Galatians 5:17
Words of Wisdom: When the blood sets you free, your conscience is free before God.
