Conscience is a defense mechanism


“There is a defense mechanism to discern between good and evil. It is called conscience. It is our spirit’s natural response to the pain of sin, just like pain in our flesh is our body’s natural response to a wound—even a small sliver. Conscience strengthens through use. ... A sensitive conscience is a sign of a healthy spirit.”

- James E. Faust, “A Crown of Thorns, a Crown of Glory,” General Conference, Apr 1991
