The times are bad; everyone is facing difficulties. However, God expects each person to live by exercising the faith that they have received. Faith is action. Those who act, conquer; but those who don't act, don't conquer.
"Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7

A Good Conscience
"...keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith." 1 Timothy 1:19
Many have overlooked a good conscience; however, without it, it is impossible to maintain the Christian faith. The bad examples of ex Christians who have failed are evident everywhere. There are so many because they neglected to have a good conscience. The Apostle Paul faced this problem in his ministry: people who once lived by faith but due to their lack of care for their good conscience, they eventually lost their faith.
The victory doesn't belong to those who start in the faith but rather they that stay until the end. The devil works hard to damage the faith of those who are sincere, so it is our duty to defend it using the weapons available to us through the Word of God.
