The Conscience of Man
()
About this ebook
Every person is born into this earth with a conscience. Paul lived his entire life striving to maintain a good conscience before God and men. As believers, we need to imitate Paul in this. This book helps the believer to understand what their conscience is and how to maintain a good conscience.
Michael Maher
From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.

What is our conscience?
The inward and outward man
John 3:3-5 Jesus answered and said to him,
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (4) Nicodemus said to Him,
How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? (5) Jesus answered,
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
There are certain truths revealed to us in the New Testament that cannot be understood unless we have a clear understanding of the nature of man. It is only in the New Testament that our Lord Jesus reveals to us the full make-up of God’s creation called man. In the above quoted passage of scripture our Lord revealed for the first time, the fact that it is the spirit of man that is born-again. And so in this passage we see that because Nicodemus had no understanding of the make-up of man, he couldn’t grasp the truth that our Lord was trying to teach him. This is just one illustration of why it is important for us as believers, to have a clear understanding of just how God has created us. For without that understanding we will be like Nicodemus, and miss out on spiritual truths as revealed to us in God’s word. In this series called Man, the Image of God
, we examine each part of man as revealed to us in the scriptures, and the role each part plays in our walk as believers.
2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
There is a lot more to man than that which we see in the natural, i.e. the physical body of man. In the above quoted passage of scripture the bible teaches us that there is an inward man and that there is also an outward man. Our outward man consists of our physical bodies, which includes the physical organ of our brain. This is the part of man that is mortal, and so this is the part of man that is growing older day by day, which is why the scripture states that our outward man is perishing. We will look at the outward man and what the bible says about it, later in this series.
Psalms 139:13-14 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
It is the inward man which is the real person. In scripture, the inward man is sometimes referred to as the soul
, for example when Noah and his family were saved from the flood, the Holy Spirit tells us that eight souls were saved (1 Peter 3:20). The inward man is also sometimes referred to as the heart
, for the Holy Spirit speaks of the hidden person of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). Unlike the outward man the inward man is an eternal creation of God, which is why the scripture states that though our outward man is perishing our inward man grows stronger day by day. And so, just as our physical body is made up of different parts which all have different functions, so our inward man is also made up of different parts which also have different functions. In the passage of scripture quoted above the Holy Spirit reveals to us that
