The author emphasizes that conscience is a God-given moral faculty implanted within every human that informs our thoughts, words, and actions. This God-given faculty, when rightly informed by the Word of God, acts as a guide for our lives and helps us discern between right and wrong with respect to thoughts, words, and deeds. The author suggests that our conscience naturally binds us to the obedience of God's law and that humane laws only bind the conscience when they are consistent with God's law. Furthermore, the book differentiates between a true plea of conscience and a false plea of conscience. A true plea of conscience is one in which a person is genuinely convinced that an action is sinful before God, while a false plea of conscience is one in which a person uses conscience as an excuse to justify disobedience to God's law or the laws of the land. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of educating and informing one's conscience through the diligent study of God's Word and the use of other God-given means of grace.
