Ephesians 4:19-32 is the passage that my dorm is studying and memorizing this semester. So far, my room of 4 girls has memorized the first 3 verses. The message of these verses is amazing: a warning against believers walking about as unbelievers do, with sin rampant in their lives. It shows believers what a worldly, ungodly person is like and to avoid that in their own lives. It's amazing to me how just by memorizing a few verses from scripture can help you to understand it more clearly. Verse 19 tells how the people who live for this world are past feeling; they no longer respond to the goodness and are bitter about anything that pertains to God. They don't care what happens to them in the long run, as long as they can live as they want to live in the moment they are perfectly happy to be lost sinners, alienated from the life of God.
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
