“Some professing Christians speak about themselves through an amplifier, but about God through a muffler.”

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.” – First Corinthians 3:11

“It’s a girl!” or “It’s a boy!” begin some birth announcements in the newspapers (Family notices). I am looking at one announcement now which even has a little image of balloons.

In his letter to the saints who live in Ephesus the apostle Paul is writing, “and [we] were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” – Ephesians 2:3 (Authorized Version) Another translation says, “Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.” (NIV)

The apostle Paul says here two things in few words:

1. All humans are under the wrath of God.

2. All humans are under the wrath of God by nature.

That means that we are born “by nature the children of wrath”.

I don’t think we would ever find a birth notice which would say this:

We want to announce the birth of a child of wrath.

But that is the truth!
