How does the resurrection of Jesus provide a pure conscience?
Answered in 1 source
The resurrection of Jesus assures believers that they are reconciled to God, providing them with a pure conscience.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundamental to the believer's assurance of a pure conscience. In 1 Peter 3:21, it says, 'the answer of a good conscience toward God' comes through the resurrection of Jesus. This signifies that because Christ rose from the dead, believers can confidently know that their sins are forgiven and that they are reconciled to God. A pure conscience is untouched by guilt or shame because it rests on the finished work of Christ. When one truly understands their identity in Christ and the significance of His resurrection, it provides profound peace, enabling them to serve God without the burden of an accusing conscience.
