Psalm 51
WHAT IS A CONSCIENCE OF SIN? 
What you have when you are bothered by a secret sin and are aware that it is threatening to damage your relationship with God unless you go quickly and be restored to Him.
1. Sin separates from God.
2. Conscience is conscious of this and brings conviction
3. Conviction: accuses, no excuses!
4. Confession: should be the result.This is where thirst for righteousness & forgiveness helps.
5. Thirst for God intensifies repentance!
NEED FOR CONSCIENCE OF SIN
People are not always aware of their sin..
So, Confronting Someone of their Sin! .. Risky!
Jesus said: If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault. MAT 18:15
Nathan: “You are the man!”
Paul: Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.. GAL 6:1
James: My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back.. JAM 5:19
CONSCIENCE OF SIN WILL SHOW THIRST FOR GOD!
THE MOCKER VERSUS THE WISE,PRO 9:7-9
As you Correct, Rebuke, Teach..
Mocker will hate, insult and abuse you.
Wise will love you, and will be wiser still and increase learning!
Conscience of Sin will show thirst for God!
Isa 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. :7 No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and made us waste away because of our sins.
