◄ Ephesians 2:3 ►
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Prior to receiving the saving gift of faith in Christ through the working of the Holy Spirit, all humans (as sinners from birth by nature) are subject to God's anger and judgment for their sin, resulting in eternal separation from Him. As indicated in Genesis 3, the first sin committed by Adam resulted in this corruption, which has been passed down to all subsequent human generations (1 Corinthians 15:22), with the exception of Christ, due to the unique manner in which He was conceived..

It is only by placing faith in Christ's atoning death (which paid the penalty for humanity's sin, as demonstrated by Christ's subsequent resurrection) that humans can be reconciled to God and receive the gift of eternal life.
