"28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,"
When we resist God He will not continue to pursue us forever, at some point, when we have continually rejected Him and His principles over and over and over again, no matter how many warnings he brings, He will turn us over the our own minds.
What would that look like? Read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 to find the answer. When left to our own devices, pridefully thinking we can ignore God while having things the way we want them, we are placing ourselves and those we influence in grave danger.
The protection of the Lord is removed when He turns us over to ourselves and the devil.
1 John 5:19 "We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one."
When God turns us over to ourselves we are not in control, we come under the power of the wicked one as it says in 1 John. All those people who think they can run from God and live their lives as they please their own way, are under someone else's power, not their own. The power of the devil.
When we are under the power of the wicked one, we no longer have the ability to think in ways that help us. All our thoughts are under the sinful flesh and the devil.
Genesis 6:5 "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
The only solution for those who are running from God is to confess your sinfulness, trust Christ and let change your thinking.
Isaiah 55:9 ""For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts."
