For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
I wanted to focus on the positive statements of this chapter, but this verse must come first—because everything positive follows it. If we refuse to confront sin and its effects on ourselves, our families, churches, communities, and the world, then any “positive” is shallow, surface-level, and fake.
I’ve met many professing Christians, religionists, and so-called “good people” who emphasize their own goodness, yet still face sin’s consequences—broken homes, difficult circumstances, legal troubles, and more.
It all starts here: “the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.”
No one truly turns to Christ before this.
No one deals with character issues before this.
No one understands God’s plan before this.
No one rightly interprets Scripture before this.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
Those who grasp this are ready to receive Christ.
Those who receive Christ are able to mortify their earthly members.
Those who mortify sin can put off other offenses.
And those who do are ready to “put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him.”
