Back in the day, (that just means you’re getting old) but back in the day I used to get callous on my hands a lot. I got to the point where I would stick needles in them and through them just to freak people out. When your skin is calloused it’s dead and there is no feeling in it so sticking a needle in your hand was no big deal. Here in Ephesians 4: 18-19 the same thing is being said. When your heart is hard it is dead and calloused and you can not feel the things you should be feeling. A person then does all kinds of things that they should not be doing the list here is endless. It’s not until you receive a new heart from God that these things will change and that you will at least know what you should be doing. You may not do it all of the time but you will know. If you die with a dead heart you end up in Hell. If you die with a new heart a softened one you will spend eternity with Jesus.
[18] They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. [19] They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. (Ephesians 4:18-19 ESV)
