保罗常说他以无愧的良心活在神与人的面前《提前1:5》。他也因为良心无愧，所以在侍奉讲道时常享有神的权柄，在受审时心里毫无惧怕，反倒时常经历神的帮助《徒24:16》。良心，是神创造人的生命时放在人心里头的属灵机能，且是给人是非的基准。按着拉汀问的意思（conscientia）,良心代表“存在自己里面的知识”。它在我们里头与我们的本位格同住，共同知道我们心中最深切的心思、意念、动机、感受、欲望。在人堕落之前，他的良心与他没有对立之处，因为他所想的，所感受的，所做的都与他所知道的是非没有差异。因此，他能够坦然无惧的面对神，也能全然的爱他旁边的人，向他敞开。这是人最自由与有权柄的光景。但是，当罪进入了人的生命之后，他的良心被玷污，也同时不由自主的成为了他的“控诉者”。为何如此呢？因为良心知道我们里头一切的心思意念与不为人所知的所作所为，所以就向我们发出控诉。而且，罗马书告诉我们这良心（是非之心）在神审判人隐秘事的日子里会亲自指控我们，显出我们里面的过错《罗2:15-16》。试想那时我们的错误百出，那是何等可怕与羞耻的事啊！那么，因为这良心的功能是至今任然存留在堕落的人生命里，人是非常讨厌这良心的声音，尽量要淹没这声音。因此我们看到在人的世界里，有的暴君特别谗害那些向他说实话的人，或是有些政治人员专门压迫反对者的声音，那都是因为这些人所说的支持了那指控他的良心。在个人层面，我们也看到有的人因为讨厌这良心的声音，就在人前假冒伪善，或是尽量合理化自己某些不对的想法与举动。其实，他们以为这样就能让自己心安理得，但是当良心的控诉如此被淹没，就会演变为刑罚与惧怕的声音。从哪里会知道呢？从他更无法面对公义的神会知道。所以，这等人心中的惧怕与忧烦是显而易见的。试想他活在全善全爱的上帝所造的世界，又活在那指控他的良心面前，那他怎能毫无“审判感”所带来的惧怕呢？当他说：“不！我毫无惧怕！我没错！”其实，他的灵魂是因自己所说的谎言更加惧怕（不平安）。许多宗教家就是因为确实感悟到这良心的控诉，所以他们深思凝想，领悟了能对得起自己良心的善德善意，那就成为了所谓人的宗教了。但是，因为这道德标准来自人，不能达到神的标准，人仍旧对生死祸福的事处在无助与惧怕里，人类的犯罪无法减轻，宗教的法律与要求也就越来越多。所以，对于良心的问题，人的善行与意志无法解决。那么，良心的问题如何解决呢？答案就是唯有被神饶恕。除了认罪、悔改，接受神透过基督的救赎，没有一个人能在神面前站立得住。但是，对我们这已经蒙受神救赎的人，我们又面对一个很切实的问题，就是每当学习了真理之后，发现我们会陷入一个立志为善又行不出善的光景，以至良心受到谴责。因此，当我们还活在这软弱的罪身里，我们该如何效法保罗一样存无愧的良心而活呢？

Paul always said that he lived before God and men with a clear conscience <1 Ti 1:5>. Because his conscience was clear, he often enjoyed God’s authority when he was serving and preaching; when trialed, he was also fearless, and received God’s help instead < Ac 24:16>. Conscience is a spiritual mechanism placed in the heart of man by God as He created life, and gives people the standard of right vs wrong. In Latin, conscientia (conscience) means “self-knowledge of self”. It dwells in us together with our personality, co-knowing the deepest thoughts, inclinations, motives, feelings, and desires in our hearts. Before fall, man’s conscience did not oppose himself in any way, for what he thinks, feels, and do, are no different from the rights and wrongs he know. Therefore, he can be fearless and bold in facing God, and love the people around him and open himself to them completely. Such is the state of man when they enjoy the most freedom and authority. However, when sin enters our lives, man’s conscience is polluted, and it can’t help but becomes his “accuser”. Why? It’s because our conscience knows all our hearts and minds, and the actions unknown to others, therefore, it gives us complaints. Moreover, Romans tells us that this conscience (the heart of right vs wrong) will personally accuse us on the day when God will judge men’s secret, revealing the transgressions in us <Ro 2:15-16>. Try thinking, when all our mistakes are exposed, it is utterly scary and embarrassing! For the function of this conscience still remains in all who are fallen today, thus man dislikes the voice of this conscience greatly, and tries to drown it. Hence, we see that in this world, some tyrants would slander those who spoke the truth in particular, some politicians will oppress the opposition voices – all these take place because those who speak is supportive of that conscience that is now accusing the person involved. On individual level, we see how people put up a pretense before others because they dislike the voice of this conscience, or they attempt to rationalize certain incorrect thoughts and actions. Actually, they thought by doing so they will feel peaceful, but when the complaints from the conscience are drowned this way, it will turn into the voice of punishment and fear. How can we tell? From the fact that he cannot face the righteous God all the more. Therefore, the fear and troubles in the hearts of such people are apparent. Try thinking, as he lives in this world created by the all-good and all-loving God, and also before the conscience that accuses him, how can he be devoid of the fear that is from his “sense of being judged”? When he said, “No! I am not afraid at all! I have no wrong!” Actually, his soul becomes even more fearful (unpeaceful) for the lies he is now making. A lot of religious people actually feel the realness of the accusations from this conscience, thus they go into deep meditation and develop the good deeds and thoughts that are accountable to their consciences. This becomes what man calls as religion. However, the standard of morality comes from man, it cannot reach God’s standard. As a result, men still feel helpless and fearful towards life and death, blessings and disasters; man continue to sin, the demands from the laws of religions are also increasing. Hence, on the issue about conscience, it cannot be dealt through good deeds or self-will. How then can this be dealt with? The answer is, man has to be forgiven by God. Aside from confession of sins, repentance, and accepting God through the redemption in Christ, no one can stand before God. To us who are already saved by God, we now face another genuine issue, that is, every time as we learn about the truth, we soon realize that we will fall into a state of knowing the good but fail in carrying it out, thus the conscience is rebuked. As we live in this weak sinful flesh, how can we imitate Paul who lived by clear conscience?
