A Good Conscience

A little boy just four years old was out taking a walk in the fields with his grandpa. They came to a sign with the words painted on it, "TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED."
"Oh do go on, Grandpa," said the little fellow.
"No, my boy," said Grandpa. "It says, 'Trespassers will be prosecuted!' But you are too young to know what that big word is."
"No, I'm not, Grandpa. It means a policeman will come after you."
How often does conscience faithfully warn us not to do wrong! A good conscience before God is a priceless thing, it cannot be bought with money. The Apostle wrote:
"This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy . . . that thou . . . mightest war a good warfare; holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck." 1 Tim. 1:18,1918This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: (1 Timothy 1:18‑19).
