Charles Groce, focusing on Romans 2:13-15, asks why we believe what we believe and how far we can be trusted with what we believe. Not everybody has developed a conscience to the extent we can trust them with temptation. By nature, every human being has certain universal expectations, including an aversion to kill another human being. We see instances in which this internal proscription becomes over-ridden. Our parents, church, community, and peer pressure are contributory factors in the development of the conscience. As members of God’s Church, we have our consciences educated by God’s Word and God’s Holy Spirit, and cleansed of self-centeredness and transformed into God-centeredness. We have to be on guard that we do not sear or cauterize our consciences, depriving them of feeling. Spending time in scripture restores feeling to our consciences. We will all face moral dilemmas, but through study and prayer, we can make choices more pleasing to God, while judging other people less.
