In Ephesians 4:19 Paul speaks of those who have “given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.” Such consent to sin is full, absolute, complete and with deliberation. With this consent the soul plunges into sin like a ship at full sail with the wind at its back. This is the kind of consent that unbelievers give to sin and isn’t what we need to think about.
