Children of wrath

Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus...Ephesians 2:3-6

Christians are ex-rebels. We were by nature deserving the wrath of God because of our evil actions. We were dead in our transgressions, cut off from the living God because of sin. But God being rich in mercy sent his only Son to pay the penalty of rebellion and to take the wrath that we deserve. Christ Jesus has paid the debt of all who will call upon the name of the Lord so that we can be made alive and be redeemed back into right standing with our Creator. He calls everyone(me and you) to repent(turn) from rebelling against him and instead put our trust in him. It is by God's Grace that he has done this for us. We can not earn this and we surely do not deserve this gift of salvation found only in Christ. May we humble ourselves and trust in God's awesome plan of redemption. #timetochange #lifeundertheson
