God given

 

1st John 1:17 “If we walk in the Light as He is in the light,

we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Christ

cleanses us from all sin”

 

We walk according to the light we have

even though we are limited by it.

Up to the degree that it falls on us

according to the light that is absorbed.

How can this be? Explained as such

that even I can get the message.

Well let me start over again

with conscience as then norm.

 

Conscience is not a standard of Holiness.

Christ alone is that.

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life

outside of Him is nothing.

He is the only standard

Who brings us God’s fellowship?

He is the only condition.

Who measures up to Him?

 

A good conscience merely assures us

that we are complete.

As far as our knowledge goes

and our willingness to follow.

This is our immediate goal, you know,

but really not the ultimate

for that is based on Grace, you know,

all of God, not you, I am sorry.

 

Standard of conduct is not carved in stone

It should grow in quality.

As the degree of knowledge rises

it will keep pace with it.

As we better understand the scriptures

and revelation comes to us,

experiencing spiritual commitment

should reflect in the life we live.

 

As His Light progresses

and so to shine through us,

our conscience will go forward

without any offense.

This is God’s given standard

which reflects Holiness

and will point out the flaws

and our sinfulness.

 

According to respective conditions

God will deal with us.

He always gives the warnings

when we violate His Goals.

We should not extend ourselves

to understand all truth

if it is beyond our capacity

which only the Holy Spirit knows.
