What does it mean to be children of wrath by nature?

Answered in 1 source

Being children of wrath by nature means that without Christ, individuals are under God's righteous judgment due to sin.

In Ephesians 2:3, Paul refers to humanity as 'children of wrath,' indicating that apart from the intervention of Christ, all people are subject to God's righteous anger because of their sinful nature. This condition reflects the gravity of human depravity and the dire need for a Savior. It reminds Christians of the seriousness of sin and the necessity of God's grace for redemption, emphasizing that salvation is purely a gift from God, not something earned by human effort.
