Summary
Living a moral life is more than following rules, it is a state of being. A moral person is someone who has developed a moral sense, or conscience, manifested by a goodness that is integrated into daily living. For such a person, morality loses all sense of restriction and becomes a positive affirmation of a relationship with God. Pure Heart, Clear Conscience offers an approach to morality that is rooted in a relationship with Jesus, our Savior. As we strengthen our relationship with the Lord, we begin to develop a Christian conscience that is able to recognize sin and accept true forgiveness. In welcoming goodness into our lives, we find the true happiness that every person was created for.
