Insensibility
By Horatius Bonar0ISA 61:1MAT 11:28Horatius Bonar emphasizes that a lack of feeling or conviction does not diminish the gospel's power or the welcome of Christ. He argues that faith should lead to feeling, not the other way around, and that those who feel most insensible are often the most in need of Christ's grace. Bonar encourages believers to come to Christ as they are, without waiting for feelings of repentance or conviction, as these will come through faith in Him. He warns against the sin of insensibility and urges the congregation to recognize their need for Christ's healing and forgiveness. Ultimately, he reassures that Christ's love and grace are available to all, regardless of their emotional state.
