Every mortal man has a conscience, but a dead one, until he or she

What is Conscience?
Conscience can be defined as the Spirit of life that indwells within
our mind – Eph. 4:23
6
Conscience is our invisible part that determines the outcome of our
lives.
It is your most confidential companion.
It is the real you that only you and God alone can relate with.
Its mission is to ‘police’ your destiny unto dignity, if allowed
The healthier one’s conscience, the higher he soars in the race of
life.

Evil has had his way to a point that the conscience has become dead
– 1 Tim. 4:2

the ongoing in any environment.
