Do not think we are saying that now that you are saved all the rules and regulations of our Christian faith no longer matter! Well that's quite the opposite.
As Christians, God takes those external guideposts of His laws for how we ought to live and writes them on our hearts.
When we sin against God, do we not know it or do we have to run to consult a manuscript to tell us that we committed a sinful act?!
God's internal guidepost for us is the Holy Spirit! He is our God Conscience living in us, with us and around us. The Holy Spirit works within us to transform us into who God has purposed for us to be! The God Conscience within us empowers us and gives us Divine help to live in a way that is pleasing to God.
Don't get boggled down by all the things you believe you need to observe, do not let it hinder you from turning your life over to God. God will give you the God Conscience; your internal measuring stick for what is pleasing to God and your very own Teacher so you will learn right from wrong and truth from lies and walk in right living with God as you nurture your faith in and relationship with God.
Take some time today and get to know the Holy Spirit. He is the gift that God has given to make us victorious in our christian walk.
