A wicked man is a sin-lover; he is a sin-maker, he lives in sin upon choice.
All profane people give up themselves to wickedness, wallow in all ungodliness, delight themselves in all manner of filthiness, commit wickedness with greediness, draw iniquity and sin with cords of vanity, weary themselves to commit iniquity, and are so desperately set upon wickedness, that neither the rod of God, the lashes and checks of their own consciences, nor the flashes of Hell upon their souls can stop them. They are resolved that they will gratify their lusts, though they damn their souls; that they will live wickedly, though they perish eternally!
By custom in sin, they have destroyed all conscience of sin, and contracted such desperate hardness upon their own hearts, as neither God's smiles nor frowns, God's promises nor threatenings, life nor death, Heaven nor Hell, can possibly hinder them!
The hearts and ways of wicked men are full of Hells; and therefore to fill Heaven with such, would be to fill Heaven with Hells!
Certainly God will shut the gates of glory upon such workers of iniquity. These souls are sadly abandoned by God, and woefully blinded by Satan, and fully ripened for ruin.
[Thomas Brooks]
2 Thessalonians 2:12 ... That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Matthew 18:3 ... And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.❤
