A High-Minded Social Conscience Does Not Please God

Acts 24:16. If you live by the highest social conscience of society, this will not get you into heaven. You are at best pleasing man, and not necessarily pleasing God. Many people think that because they are pretty good people they are pleasing God. This is not true because God is a righteous God. By His nature He can only accept perfection, not just pretty good. Because He is also a God of love, He has given us a way to be acceptable to Him. He did this by sending His Son to save us and pay the price our imperfections. All we need to do is accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and follow a new conscience. This new conscience is void of offence toward God, and toward men (Acts 24:16, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men." ). This is a conscience of love that is based on God's standard and not society's standards.
