Common Grace manifests over and in all spheres of life; it might function well in one, such as the arts and simultaneously very minimally in another, such as morality, in the same nation. For example, ancient Israel enjoyed the highest degree of common grace in the religious and moral sphere but showed little evidence of blessing in terms of artistry.
Nevertheless, it can be noted that when God withdraws the extent of his common grace to a nation, it is synonymous with this ‘giving over’ wherein “not only does shame disappear but the conscience is so completely falsified that people begin to take pride in evil and to rejoice when they see evil. This is the devilish feature: Not falling and succumbing out of weakness, but from lust in evil, even where people themselves do not seek enjoyment or profit in the evil. It is purely rejoicing in the fact that evil occurs.”
