How do we know that a good conscience is important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

A good conscience is essential for maintaining true faith, as it serves as a guide in living a life faithful to God's Word.

Paul emphasizes in 1 Timothy 1:19 that a good conscience is critical for anyone involved in ministry and for all Christians. The concept is that a pure conscience helps guide a person’s actions and keeps them aligned with God’s will. Fairbain notes that 'a good conscience is faith's necessary handmaid,' indicating its supportive role in sustaining genuine faith. When individuals abandon a good conscience, they may begin to follow false teachings, leading to spiritual shipwreck. Therefore, maintaining a good conscience is integral to holding onto the faith.
