Conscience:
that faculty of the mind, or inborn sense of right and wrong, by which we judge of the moral character of human conduct. It is common to all men. Like all our other faculties, it has been perverted by the Fall (Jhn 16:2; Act 26:9; Rom 2:15). It is spoken of as "defiled" (Tts 1:15), and "seared" (1Ti 4:2). A "conscience void of offence" is to be sought and cultivated (Act 24:16; Rom 9:1; 2Cr 1:12; 1Ti 1:5,19; 1Pe 3:21).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
