Why does the conscience become seared?
If we ignore our conscience and commit sins, then the conscience may become seared, so that we no longer feel it. Why did God design the conscience like this? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The more sins we commit, the more our conscience should warn us that we are doing wrong. But instead it can become silent.
And why is the conscience so quiet to begin with? Why doesn't the conscience reflect the seriousness of our transgression, at least to some degree? Someone who lies may know they are doing wrong, but not that they are committing a sin with eternal consequences, so they don't take it seriously most of the time. Like if we felt extreme spiritual or even physical pain every time we sin, then wouldn't there be less sin?
Just wondering. That's all for now. God bless.
