BLESSED WITH A GOOD CONSCIENCE

My Dear Precious Child, When Paul wrote to his ministry assistant Timothy in his first letter reiterating to his assistant about false teachers he wrote that he had previously warned Timothy and the other church leaders that they must charge some teachers again to stop teaching other doctrines than Jesus Christ and Him crucified for the sins of the whole world. Paul wrote sternly not to listen to fables and genealogies which bring up questions rather than being godly edifying which is rooted in faith. He reminded Timothy that the object of their instruction was to command believers to love with a pure heart and a good CONSCIENCE and faith, that the Gospel is simply that. Paul pointed out to Timothy that some of the teachers had turned away from truth and had engaged in vain arguments, desiring to become doctors of the Law but they had no understanding of the words or terms that they used or the subjects about which they made dogmatic assertions. Paul had made plain to Timothy in the past that a person's conscience is the thought process which considers both good and bad, commending what is good and condemning what is bad, encouraging believers to choose to do good and to reject what is bad. (I Timothy 1:3-7) Paul reminded Timothy that the Law is good if anyone uses it for the purpose for which it was designed, that being to point out the temptations that the devil uses to encourage people to sin, stressing that the Law is not given for the righteous but it was given for the ungodly and sinful, the profane and the murderers, the impure, the immoral, liars, kidnappers, perjurers and whatever is opposed to sound doctrine and wholesome teaching, as was laid down by the glorious Gospel of Mine, which I had entrusted Paul to preach to the Gentiles. It was in the first letter of Paul to Timothy that Paul thanked Me for making him a minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus though he had formerly blasphemed and persecuted believers and been aggressively insulting to Christ. Nevertheless, he had gained mercy because he had acted out of ignorance and unbelief. He wrote that My favor was poured out abundantly to him, accompanied by the faith and love of Jesus Christ. (I Timothy 1:13-14) He professed his faith by writing that the saying is sure that Christ Jesus, the Messiah, came into the world to save sinners, of whom he wrote that he was the most guilty sinner. (I Timothy 1:15). Paul wrote that I, in order to show the vastness of My grace, through Jesus Christ I chose Paul, the utmost of all sinners, in order to flood him with My mercy and forgiveness, displaying all of My patience on him as an example to the people who would believe on Him and obtain eternal life. (I Timothy 1:15-16) He acknowledged that Christ is the king of all eternity, incorruptible and immortal, the only God, Amen, so be it. It was to Timothy that Paul was definite in charging and admonishing him to fight the good fight of intercessory prayers, holding onto his sound faith and his good CONSCIENCE. He warned that it was by their refusing to lean their entire personality on Me and keeping a good CONSCIENCE that some people had made shipwreck of their faith. Paul even named two people who were known by Timothy whom Paul wrote that he had turned them over to the devil so that they would learn not to blaspheme.
