Are you still under God's wrath — or has your account been settled? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten walks us through one of the most sobering — and most hopeful — passages in all of Scripture.

Drawing from Romans 1 and Ephesians 2 (KJV), Pastor Webster shows us what it means to live under the wrath of God and what it means when those two powerful words break through: but God.

You might be asking: Does God really reveal himself to people who have never heard the gospel? Can someone who has lived in sin truly be forgiven? What does it mean that God gave them up? And what difference do the words but God actually make in my life?

In this devotion you will discover:

- God has revealed himself to all people through creation, leaving everyone without excuse (Romans 1:20)

- Every person outside of Christ is already under God's wrath and condemned

- God, rich in mercy, stepped in through Christ to make salvation possible (Romans 5:8)

- Confession brings forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:9)

- Two words — but God — change everything for those who will receive him

Are you a child of wrath — or a child of grace? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 2, verse 3 (KJV) to explain the third force that drives human disobedience — the flesh. Not the physical body, but the fallen nature every person is born with.

You might be asking — Does that mean unsaved people never do anything good? Can good deeds earn salvation? What does it really mean to be a "child of wrath"? And what does it take for that verdict to change?

Key points from this devotion:

- The flesh is the fallen nature we are born with, and it shapes all of our behavior before Christ

- Unsaved people can and do perform good deeds, but no good deed can meet God's standard or earn salvation

- Without Christ, every person is spiritually dead, disobedient, depraved, and under the wrath of God

- John 3:18 makes clear that condemnation is already the condition of those who have not believed in Christ

- The only way out of being a child of wrath is to settle your account with the Lord Jesus Christ today

Are you living under the three forces that push people toward disobedience against God? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 2:2 (KJV) and walks us through the powerful reality of how the world, the devil, and the flesh work together to keep people in spiritual bondage.

You might be asking: Why do I keep struggling with the same patterns? Why is it so hard to live for God in today's world? Did sin really start with Adam and Eve? Is Satan personally after me?

In this episode, Pastor Webster covers:

- How disobedience began in the Garden of Eden and brought spiritual and physical death to all mankind

- The pressure the world's system puts on every person to conform to its values and attitudes

- How Satan and his hierarchy of demons actively work to keep people disobedient through lies

- Why Jesus said His people are not of this world, just as He is not of this world

- A preview of the third agent — the flesh — coming in the next devotion
