“In that word maturity I think we have the key to the concept of spirituality, for Christian maturity is the growth which the Holy Spirit produces over a period of time in the believer.” (Page 205)
“ Spiritually is a mature and maturing relation to the Holy Spirit.” (Page 205)
“The usages of conscience in the New Testament suggest that it pertains, broadly speaking, to one’s ethics or morals; i.e., the conscience is a moral consciousness. Therefore, based on ethnology and New Testament usage, the conscience can be defined as ‘the inner knowledge or awareness of, and sensitivity to, some moral standard.’11 That standard may differ with each individual, as will be discussed later, but even so the conscience is the faculty of man by which he has an awareness of some standard of conduct.” (Page 331)
“Three times Paul refers to the conscience as a witness” (Page 333)
“standards of moral conduct vary from person to person” (Page 335)
