Sinners come short of God's expectations . And this reminder operates when we fail, and makes us feel worthless. Man's greatest need is to be loved . Condemnation from the conscience mars us as we experience bad relationships throughout life. We are wounded by people who should never have wounded us, and the scars remain in the conscience.
Some scars so damage our consciences that they are made to operate improperly.
We even condemn ourselves when we need not be condemned. There is this improper condemnation from the conscience, but also proper condemnation. As sinners, people will always be condemned within. And rightly so. Sinners must be made to know their need of salvation.
