There is no subject, perhaps, which has more frequently led people to speak - albeit unconsciously - in a blasphemous manner, than this very matter which we are now going to consider. That is why they have often led to great misunderstanding, and are subjects which people often in their ignorance not only fail to understand but bitterly resent. And there is no doubt at all but that these two matters that we are compelled to look at together are two of the most difficult and perplexing subjects in the whole realm and range of biblical doctrine. He says that "we were all by nature the children of wrath, even as others". That is the subject with which we now have to deal. We are so self-centred and concerned about ourselves that we fail to remember that the most important thing above all else is the way in which God looks down upon it all. It is because we so constantly forget this that the world is as it is today - and indeed that the Church is as she is. The others were vitally important, but there is nothing which is as important as this. He shows what God says and thinks and does about man in that condition which we have already considered: There can be no question at all but that this is the most important aspect of the subject. In other words Paul deals with sin, as sin affects man's standing before God. We now come to look at the apostle's final statement about man in sin and that is, that he is under the wrath of God.
