Repost from October 19, 2019
Studying Ezekiel 16 this morning and the study notes mentioned a reprobate mind (Romans 1:23), this is when we are so whorish with our sin (pride) so much so that we dishonor human nature with vile affections (worshiping our choice of idols over God). He allows us to keep doing us when we refuse to acknowledge (listen, serve, worship, praise) and know Him for ourselves.
Eventually, we get so entrenched in our sin that it becomes our “normal” as we decide we don’t need God anymore.
People are mad at God, don’t want to know God, too busy for God, mad at church hypocrites, mad over what the Pastor did or didn’t do- there are always excuses. But all that stuff will not matter in the end when you take your last breath and meet your Maker. In the end it’s our response to God that matters.
Romans 1:28-31 speaks to the effects of a reprobate mind.
Some things to consider as we press towards self awareness.
If you want a deeper understanding of a reprobate mind/pride, Google Ezekiel 16:15-34, Matthew Henry Commentary (Complete).
