Title: THE CONDEMNED NATURE OF HUMAN BEINGS
The awareness of grace that pervades the first three chapters of Ephesians is heightened by Paul's contrasting emphasis on sin and God's judgement upon it. What is true of his readers is true of everyone, since by nature all stand under God's judgement (2:1-3, 12), one of the strongest passages in the NT on how lost humans are apart from Christ.
Since, apart from Christ, human beings are by nature driven by sin and subject to the devil, evangelism is an urgent issue in the NT (Mark 16:15, Rom 9:1-3)
