Now that we have the description, I want to ask you a question. When you read the previous description of wicked individuals, does your heart immediately fill with disgust toward the outside world in which you live; that so accurately fits the description of this passage? It probably does; and in a sense it should. However, if we come to a passage like this and do not take the time to look at our own hearts, we are simply using the Bible to fuel our own self-righteousness. I wonder how Jesus would have taught this verse if He had used it in the Sermon on the Mount? His application would have probably gone something like this: But I say unto you, if you disregard righteousness and truth in your heart; and if in the imaginations of your heart, you gorge yourself on wicked and sinful pleasures ; you are guilty. It’s kind of difficult to be so disgusted at other sinners when you realize that you are just as disgusting as they are, if left to yourself. This is not an attempt to try and make us indifferent toward sin; but rather compassionate toward sinners; because we too know what it’s like to be carried away with the disgusting pleasures of sin. This ought to lead us to the throne of grace on behalf of our own hearts, and the hearts of a lost world; who are the same kind of broken that we were (and in many ways are); before God in His mercy began to put us back together through His gracious love and kindness.
