• Ephesians 4:19

  Ephesians 4:19    English Standard Version (ESV)
  19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

“There are some sinners who appear to feel nothing; they sin, but their conscience does not accuse them concerning it. They purpose to go yet further into sin, and they reject Christ, and turn aside from him even when the Spirit of God is striving with them, for they are insensible to the wrong they are doing. They do not feel, they cannot feel, and, alas! they do not even want to feel; they are callous and obdurate, and, as the apostle says, ‘past feeling.’ When they read or hear of the judgment to come, they do not tremble. When they are told about the love of Christ, they do not yield to him. They can hear about his sufferings, and remain altogether unmoved; they have no fellowship with his sufferings, and scarcely know what the expression means. Sin is dear to them, even though it slew the Lord of glory himself.”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1897), p. 16]
