What does it mean to be children of wrath?

Answered in 1 source

Children of wrath refers to those who are under God's judgment due to sin and rebellion against Him.

Being termed 'children of wrath' in Ephesians 2:3 indicates that apart from Christ, humanity is under the righteous judgment of God because of sin. All have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23), thus deserving His wrath. This biblical depiction serves as a stark reminder of the dire consequences of sinfulness. However, the passage does not end with wrath; it transitions to the hope found in God's mercy, which offers salvation and reconciliation through faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:4). This understanding fosters a deeper appreciation for grace and the profound love God holds for sinners.
