What does the term 'children of wrath' mean?

Answered in 1 source

The term 'children of wrath' refers to those who, by nature, are under God's judgment due to sin (Ephesians 2:3).

In Ephesians 2:3, Paul describes humanity as 'children of wrath,' indicating that all people are born in a state of sin and under the judgment of God. This phrase underscores the seriousness of our sinful condition and the consequences it brings—separation from God and condemnation. It highlights the need for a divine intervention to rescue us from this plight. Understanding that we are children of wrath is essential for appreciating the depth of God’s mercy and the salvation that He offers through Christ. By recognizing our fallen state, we can better comprehend the beauty of grace, which transforms us from being under judgment to being adopted as children of God.
