"Conscience is to the soul what pain is……" — John Macarthur
"Conscience is to the soul what pain is to the body. We would like to avoid pain as much as possible, but at the same time we recognize that pain is a gift from God. If you didn't have pain, you would destroy yourself. Pain is critical to physical preservation. And so the conscience is critical to spiritual preservation."
