Every time we look to fleshly sinner-instinct as a means of becoming righteous, we fail and hear condemnation deep within us. The only way to silence this cry is to cease from failure. You can't get at your conscience to stop its condemnation. The veil stops you. Your inability stops you.
Condemnation is so damaging.
We desire peace and a loving atmosphere, and condemnation robs that. People who consistently condemn their children will have miserable and unhappy children. In like manner, a conscience that isn't at rest and that always condemns us, leaves us as restless people. Since failures spark our consciences into condemning effect, and because man can never rise above failure in his own power, man is a restless creature. We are in a strait.
