"[People] who have conscience, speak from the heart the things which they speak, and do from the heart the things which they do. They have also an undivided mind, for they act according to that which they understand and believe to be true and good." (Heavenly Doctrines #131)
But it is only a true conscience if the things in your heart are in accordance with the Lord's truth. If one speaks and does from the heart things that are against that truth they have what is called a spurious conscience.

Take note of all of the times you hear that inner voice and what it tells you to do or not do. Afterwards, look in the Word to see how your conscience compares to the Lord's truth.
Nice post! True conscience seems to be having integrity, both with yourself, and with what is good and true.
ReplyDeleteThanks P.
ReplyDeleteThe whole integrity part makes the idea of heaven on earth a lot more feasible to me. Because in the other world all people act with integrity, which is the same, at least there, as acting from true conscience.
