Ephesians 2:3
“Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.”
That’s you, me, Paul, everyone who has ever lived – “All have sinned.” (Romans 3:23) We are all by nature, “Children of Wrath.” It’s not only the gross “lusts of our flesh” that plague humanity, but also the secret “desires of the… mind” that are a deep and very real problem. God knows our thoughts and we are condemned by them.
But the good news is that “wrath” is the FORMER state of all who trust in the LORD Jesus Christ. For by His grace, “we have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:8)
Thank you LORD!
The Truth
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
