Chap. 2, Verses 1-3

1 min read · Chapter 23 of 122

We (we Gentiles) were by sin, morally there where Christ actually and outwardly placed Himself for sin; we were dead in our trespasses and in our sins. There we were walking according to the course of this world; floating with the stream according to the powerful and universal influence of Satan, who penetrates everywhere and reigns over everything, like the air, which is His seat; we were walking according to this spirit which is now working in the children of disobedience, in those who still continue far off from the deliverance wrought by the Lord.
But was it only for the Gentiles? Far from it; the Apostle tells us, we also, Jews, we were walking in the same lusts; and by consequence, according to the moral truth of our nature, we were, says he, children of wrath-heirs by nature of the wrath of that God who could not mix himself up with sin. All were children of wrath. It was their desert, according to their nature, which was opposed to God.
