"The Bible teaches us that our consciences can become corrupt and inured to the impulses of the Word of God. When Jeremiah complained that Israel had developed “the forehead of a whore” (Jer. 3:3), he meant that through their repeated sinning, they had lost their capacity to blush. If we knowingly commit a sin for the first time, our conscience will give us a sense of guilt. But if we keep repeating that sin, or find out that others do it and that the culture accepts it, our conscience will become ambivalent. Eventually, it will permit us to continue in that sinful practice with a sense of impunity. We begin to approve of the very thing that God condemns, and we call evil good. This is how sin runs its course in the life of fallen creatures." (RC Sproul)
