(Rom 1:24) “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:” “Gave them up”: literally let loose of the reins. At the beginning of each of our lives the Holy Spirit restrains us from following the extremes of our heart. Merciful, merciful God! The more we struggle, the more He lets lost man go. As you can see, there are those He lets totally go of.
