Are all people enemies of God?

Answered in 1 source

According to scripture, all people are born as enemies of God by nature and action, unless reconciled through Christ.

The sermon explains that every person is naturally born into enmity against God, as illustrated in Ephesians 2:3. This inherent enmity manifests in sinful actions and an attitude that opposes God's holiness. However, through the salvific work of Christ, believers can be reconciled to God and become His friends. The doctrine of total depravity underscores that apart from God’s grace, all humanity stands as enemies, deserving of His wrath. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—His death and resurrection—that individuals can transition from the status of enemies to friends of God.
