Ephesians 2:3 teaches that fallen humans are born into sin, stand under God’s righteous judgment, and need mercy through Christ.
EPHESIANS 2:1-6 From Death to Life – Made Alive in Christ
God, out of the richness of his mercy and his great love, has made you alive, though you were dead in your sins. This is all due to His mercy and your faith and is not a result of any works of your own; although, any works you have are evidence of your faith.
