Ephesians 2:1-3: "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest."
In Ephesians 2:1–3, the Apostle Paul paints a sobering picture of humanity's spiritual state before Messiah. Without Yeshua, we were governed by the ways of this world, bound by spiritual blindness, and living according to the desires of our own human nature.
