Spiritual growth requires a constantly developing conscience, moving from one level of understanding sin to the next.

Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 10: Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth
Zac Poonen · Oct 30, 2023 · 13m
True worship, according to the New Covenant, must be offered in spirit and in truth, moving beyond mere external displays like music or hand-raising. Worship in truth means it must be genuine and heartfelt, reflecting a real connection with God rather than just performing songs. Worship in the spirit, as detailed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, means acknowledging the three parts of humanity—spirit, soul, and body—and allowing the Spirit to govern the soul and body.
