何为良心？

What is Conscience?

存着无亏的良心……— 彼得前书 3:16

Having a good conscience . . .

—1 Peter 3:16

      何为良心？上帝在我们每个人的心里放置了一个东西，每当我们做了错事的时候，这个东西就会向我们呐喊。良心是一个侦探，它监视着我们前进的方向，谴责我们每一次有意识的过犯。良心就像是一只警觉的眼睛，在它面前，每一个心思意念和行为，不是被谴责，就是被认可。

我相信当今世界上，没有什么比良心更能证明上帝的存在了。这小小的灵魂之光是对宇宙中存在的道德法则和立法者最为有力的明证。它是上帝放在人内心的声音。良心是我们最智慧的参谋和老师，是我们最忠诚、最有耐心的朋友。

What is conscience? God has put within each one of us something that cries aloud against us, whenever we do that which we know to be wrong. Conscience is the detective that watches the direction of our steps and decries every conscious transgression. Conscience is a vigilant eye before which each imagination, thought, and act, is held up for either censure or approval.

I believe there is no greater argument for the existence of God in the world today than conscience. There is no greater proof of the existence of a moral law and Lawgiver in the universe than this little light of the soul. It is God’s voice to the inner man. Conscience is our wisest counselor and teacher, our most faithful and most patient friend.

今日祷告

天父啊，感谢祢，因祢赐给我良心来查验我并保守我的行为。求祢的圣灵帮助我时刻警醒。

Prayer for the day

Thank You, Father, for my conscience which checks me and guards my actions. Help me to be alert to its promptings, through Your Holy Spirit.
