What does Ephesians 2 teach about our state before salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 2 teaches that we were spiritually dead, alienated from God, and under His wrath before salvation.

In Ephesians 2, Paul describes the state of humanity prior to salvation: we are spiritually dead in our sins and separated from the life of God. Paul uses the language of death to emphasize the seriousness of this condition; without God’s intervening grace, we are truly lost. He explains that many walk according to the course of this world, fulfilling passions that only lead to destruction. Understanding this state helps believers appreciate the transformative power of grace and the significance of being made alive in Christ.
