Paul writes to Timothy, "I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my forefathers did..." (1 Timothy 1:3).
We may have come from a family who have served God for generations, or we may be the first ones to know God. In either case, we share the same forefathers, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses, David, Daniel and many more. We have joined the family of God, the family of faith.
We follow their example, laying aside the sin and weight that so easily besets us. We run with endurance the race that is before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Whatever our enemies do, we choose to live with a clear conscience.
