What is the significance of a good conscience in the Christian life?

Answered in 1 source

A good conscience signifies being free from guilt and aligned with God's righteousness through the work of Christ.

A good conscience is significant in the Christian life because it reflects an absence of guilt and assurance of one’s standing before God. This concept is rooted in the belief that through Christ's atoning work, sin is put away, and we stand justified before God. In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter clarifies that true salvation doesn't come from external actions but through 'the answer of a good conscience toward God' which arises from the resurrection of Christ. Knowing that Christ's righteousness has become ours allows a believer to experience peace and confidence in their relationship with God.
