While jogging this morning (and listening to a tape of an old sermon) I heard such a good definition of impenitence. "The refusal to believe what God's law says about you, a sinner."
According to that, impenitence would include those who poo-poo God's law, saying that it's old-fashioned or out-dated.
According to that, impenitence would include those who know that something is wrong, but do it anyway because "everybody does it."
According to that, impenitence would include those who know their sin and even "regret" their sin, but callously excuse it with a sing-songy, "Oh, well, God forgives me, so it doesn't really matter."
Impenitence: refusing to believe the condemnation that is due you for your sin.
