Obey God

This is truth-

Act 5:28  Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 

Act 5:29  Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 

WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN.

When we are convicted by God in our conscience to obey God rather than men, we must listen. Truly as we live in a world where evil is called good, and good is now called evil- we must follow God and not the dictates of the times we live in.  Just because mankind in a majority has deemed something acceptable does not mean God has deemed it so as well. People love to call the Bible old fashioned, filled with outdated, irrelevant knowledge, they do this because if they were to believe the truth it holds are still in affect then they'd be accountable to that truth. It is much easier for people to do away with the truth than to let it remain as an accusation while they commit evil.  God will allow our conscience to be convicted and if we have to talk ourselves OUT of a convicting conscience then we are fighting against God's will.

Satan will war against us and do all He can to lead us to NOT follow our conscience at all. We can kill our conscience, we can shut it up, we can fight against it, but by the GRACE of God we will NOT do any of those things!

We will obey God rather than men, and let our conscience convict us as God allows.

'Through our conscience God examines our motive—whether we desire to obey Him or we seek something else. Another thing one must guard against is the blocking of his conscience. It often loses its normal operation through a kind of blockage. When we are surrounded by those whose conscience is deadly numb, ours may be numbed also through their argument, conversation, teaching, persuasion or example. Beware of teachers with hardened consciences: beware of man-made consciences: reject all attempts of man to mold yours. Our consciences must be responsible directly to God in all regards. We ourselves must know His will and be responsible for executing it. We will fail if we neglect our conscience to follow that of another. '  The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee
