Throughout scriptures God is presented as a judge. The fundamental principle of divine judgment is that God will judge according to truth, deeds, light and the gospel which reveals human thoughts and motives. Christians need to live their lives accountable to God for their attitudes and actions. Romans 2:6 says (God) who will render to every man according to their deeds, Verses 7-11 continues: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immorality, eternal life. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and of the Gentile, but glory and honour, and peace to every man that doeth good, to the Jew first and to the Gentile. For there is no respect of persons with God. The controlling principle will be according to deeds because deeds give incontrovertible proof of what is in the heart. Works demonstrate the hearts true condition. Deep within man is the consciousness of God and the sense of what God requires. The conscience of man acts as a moral regulator of what is right or wrong. The meaning of the word conscience is a knowing within oneself. However, continually stifling the conscience renders it inoperative. A wise Christian will be careful not to engage in activities that bother his conscience.
