What does it mean to be a 'sensible sinner'?

The term 'sensible sinner' describes a believer who recognizes the depth of their sinful nature and the implications of God's law. This awareness is a gift of the Holy Spirit, enabling individuals to feel the weight of their sin, see it in light of God's holiness, and understand their need for grace (Romans 7:24). Such sensibility drives believers to the foot of the Cross, seeking mercy and recognizing the importance of Christ’s atoning sacrifice for their sins. It emphasizes a continual reliance on God's grace rather than self-righteousness.
