This is to be the spiritual life of the Christian. But there are perils along the way. We should be aware of signs of spiritual decline, of those things that cause our spirituality to wane. An early sign is a relaxed conscience. Whatever impairs the sensitiveness of our conscience, we should call into question.
Some people claim to enjoy more freedom from the particulars of religion.
They claim freedom from all legalism and a rigidity that insists on a perfectionistic approach. A spiritually mature Christian undoubtedly enjoys a larger freedom in spiritual things. But the relaxation of conscience is another matter. Any departure from the law of God is a sign of spiritual decay. The maturing Christian becomes more sensitive to sin.
