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

Are you among the many on the broad road, or among the few on the narrow way? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Ephesians chapter 2 and several powerful scriptures to show us the serious condition of the person who does not know Christ as Savior — and the urgent choice every soul must make.

You might be asking yourself today:

- How do I know if I am truly saved or just religious?

- What does the Bible mean when it says we are dead in trespasses and sins?

- Can God even hear my prayers if I am living in sin?

- What does it mean to walk according to the world?

Key points from this devotion:

- Sin causes spiritual death — a separation of the soul from God (Ephesians 2:1, Romans 6:23)

- Iniquity separates us from God and hides His face from us (Isaiah 59:2)

- The unregenerate man follows the world's system, which opposes all that is godly

- Eternal life is a gift found only in Jesus Christ, not in religion (1 John 5:11-12)

- Jesus warns that the broad road leads to destruction, but few find the narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14, KJV)

Are you dead in sin — or alive in Christ? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 2 and walks us through one of the most sobering and hopeful truths in all of Scripture — that every person born into this world is born spiritually dead because of Adam's sin, but that death is not the end of the story.

Drawing from Luke 7:12-15, John 11, Genesis 2:15-17, Romans 5:12, and John 5:24-40 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster shows us what it means to be dead in trespasses and sin, and what it means to pass from death unto life through faith in Jesus Christ.

You might be asking:

- Why does the Bible say I am dead if I am physically alive?

- How did Adam's sin affect me personally?

- Can someone who goes to church still be spiritually dead?

- What does it mean to truly come to Christ and receive life?

Key points from this devotion:

- Spiritual death entered the world through Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden

- Every person is born spiritually dead, unable to respond to or understand spiritual things

- Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising three people — a girl, a widow's son, and Lazarus

- Coming to Christ is the only way to change a death sentence into everlasting life

- The invitation is open today — come to Christ before it is too late

Are you spiritually dead or alive in Christ? That is the deep and personal question Pastor Roderick Webster opens up in this devotion from Ephesians chapter two, using the King James Version of the Bible.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through the powerful contrast Paul draws in Ephesians two between the walk of the unregenerate person, dead in trespasses and sins, and the walk of the believer who has been made alive through God's grace and love.You might be asking:- What does it mean to be spiritually dead?- Can a person look alive on the outside but be dead on the inside?- What changed when God said "but God" in Ephesians two verse four?- How does the story of Jairus' daughter connect to our spiritual condition?Key points from this devotion:- Every person without Christ is spiritually dead, not just struggling- The word "quickened" means made alive, spiritually, not physically- God's rich mercy and great love broke through our spiritual deadness- Jesus has power over physical death, and over spiritual death too- Our walk changed from sin to love the moment Christ saved usIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss an episode of Words From The Word.WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org0:00 Opening and Welcome0:22 Song Reflection on True Gain1:11 Picking Up in Ephesians Two1:41 Two Walks Sin and Love3:06 But God Rich in Mercy4:20 What Does Quickened Mean5:00 Spiritual Death Explained5:25 Jesus Raises Jairus Daughter6:55 Closing and Next Devotion

Do you know the power you already have in Christ? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter one and unpacks one of the most encouraging truths in the New Testament — that believers already possess divine, resurrection power through Jesus Christ.

Drawing from Ephesians 1:19-23, Acts 1:8, 2 Corinthians 4:9, and Romans 1:16 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through what it means to live connected to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.

You might be asking yourself today:

- Why do I feel powerless if God's power is already available to me?

- What does it really mean to have the Holy Spirit's power in my life?

- Why am I still struggling if Christ has already defeated my enemies?

Key points from this devotion:

- God's power enables us to use God's wealth in Christ

- The gospel itself is the power of God for salvation

- We have power to endure suffering, not just to succeed

- Christ is exalted far above all principalities and powers

- The shortage is not on God's end — it is in our connection to Him

Do you know the hope God placed in your calling? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 1 verse 18 (KJV) and walks us through one of the most powerful truths a believer can grasp — that God called you not because of anything you did, but because of His own purpose and grace.

You might be asking — Why would God choose me? What does it mean to be called by God? How does my calling affect the way I live today? And what does God actually see when He looks at me?

Here are some key points from this devotion:

- God's calling is by grace alone, not based on your works or worthiness (2 Timothy 1:9, KJV)

- We have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9, KJV)

- The hope of your calling should motivate you toward purity, obedience, and faithfulness

- God sees your future glory, not your past failures — just as He saw valor in Gideon and a rock in Peter

- God invests in His church because He will one day receive glory through us
