The conscience and our accountability
A man needs to satisfy his conscience towards God by not
despising God’s precepts, even those concerning things which are not seen by
men or those things for which one is not accountable to men. For example, did he neglect his prayers? If an evil thought came into his heart, was
he vigilant and did he keep control of himself or did he entertain it? He sees his neighbor saying or doing
something; does he suspect it is evil and condemn him? To put it simply, all the hidden things that
happen inside us, things which no one sees except God and our conscience, we
need to take account of. This is what I
mean by our conscience towards God.
