No More Conscience of Sins


Author: Jerry Savelle

In the Old Testament, under the Law, God’s people made sacrifices to cover their sins, but it did not remove their sins. If they had truly been cleansed, they would not have had sin consciousness.

“Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins” (Hebrews 10:2).

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14).

Condemnation points to your sin. The blood of Christ points to God’s forgiveness and mercy. Condemnation makes you aware of your failure and weakness. The blood of

Christ makes you aware of God’s grace and mercy. Condemnation highlights your inability. The blood of Christ frees you to walk in His ability and power.

Romans 4:15 says, “Where there is no law there is no transgression.” You are no longer under the law but are under grace, therefore you should not be transgression conscious, but righteousness conscious.

Developing a righteousness consciousness produces great personal freedom. You can live as God intended, enjoying life free from the negative thoughts and emotions that try to burden you down.

Only through Jesus are you free from sin and its effects. The price He paid was greater than any sin you’ve committed. You can walk with your head high knowing your sins we not just covered, they were purged.

Confession: Thank You Jesus for shedding Your blood for me. Because of Your sacrifice, I am redeemed and free from sin and condemnation.
