Are You a Child of Wrath — Or a Child of Grace?

Are you a child of wrath — or a child of grace? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 2, verse 3 (KJV) to explain the third force that drives human disobedience — the flesh. Not the physical body, but the fallen nature every person is born with.You might be asking — Does that mean unsaved people never do anything good? Can good deeds earn salvation? What does it really mean to be a "child of wrath"? And what does it take for that verdict to change?Key points from this devotion:- The flesh is the fallen nature we are born with, and it shapes all of our behavior before Christ- Unsaved people can and do perform good deeds, but no good deed can meet God's standard or earn salvation- Without Christ, every person is spiritually dead, disobedient, depraved, and under the wrath of God- John 3:18 makes clear that condemnation is already the condition of those who have not believed in Christ- The only way out of being a child of wrath is to settle your account with the Lord Jesus Christ todayIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a daily word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.orgCHAPTERS:0:00 Opening Hymn — Settled Long Ago0:58 What Is the Flesh?1:30 How Nature Controls Behavior2:24 Ephesians 2 and Human Depravity3:34 Can Good Deeds Save You?5:22 The Lost Man Is a Child of Wrath6:28 What Condemnation Really Means7:44 Next Devotion Preview — Romans 18:24 Closing Prayer
