Rom. 14:23 But if people
have doubts about whether they should eat something, they shouldn't eat
it. They would be condemned for not
acting in faith before God. If you do
anything you believe is not right, you are sinning. NLT
God dwells in every
believer's heart through the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit guides us into all truth, helps us to understand the truth,
and empowers us to live the truth. He
works within each of us in unique ways and we learn to apply truth within the
context of our personalities and situations in life. There are many things we differ in because of
our uniqueness. As long as we don't
deviate from the truth of the Scriptures, it's okay to have different
convictions about things.
We sin when we go
against what the Spirit has convicted us of.
If we sincerely believe something is wrong and we go ahead and do it, we
sin. We are responsible for our own
convictions. It doesn't matter whether
or not someone else holds the same convictions that you do or not. Unless the Lord clearly shows you that what
you are convinced of is wrong, you sin when you go against what you believe to
be true.
We need to have a
clear grasp on what we believe about things so that we will live it. We need to examine the Scriptures and ask the
Lord to give us clear understanding of it.
We need to ask the Lord then for the strength and willpower to live by
our convictions. We must have a clear
sense of right and wrong and live by it.
God holds us accountable for the choices we make.
