Conscience Before God

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the scene is not merely a political moment but a revelation of the inner I AM. Paul’s statement encases a complete alignment of his inner atmosphere with divine law. 'Good conscience' is not a record of outward virtue but the steady state of awareness that knows itself as one with God. The council represents the outer judges, but the only true authority is your own aware I AM. When you assume you have lived in good conscience, you declare your inner court clean, and the outer world must reflect your inner settlement. The past becomes a revision, not a memory to be defended, but a state to be re-entered at will. Practice the art of living by the inner standard: imagine yourself now as Paul, earnest, fearless, full of integrity before God, and feel that your present becomes your past realized. Conscience becomes your compass and your crown; holiness is a continual alignment, a separation from self-serving aim toward the divine purpose pulsing within.
