God’s Law is the Administration of Condemnation and Death ON PEOPLE WHO DON’T “BELIEVE”.
Adapted from Gill:
ALL have Sinned,
and are ALL ARE Under
THE POWER of Sin.
ALL HUMAN BEINGS
ARE “CHILDREN of WRATH”,
Romans 1:18;
“For the Wrath of God
is Revealed from Heaven
against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth
in unrighteousness”;
Ephesians 2:3;
“Among whom also we all
had our behavior
in times past
in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind;
and were by nature
the children of wrath,
even as others.”
However, there are some particularly individuals described,
on whom this Wrath of God Comes,
and they are called
“children of disobedience”,
in Ephesians 5:5, 6;
“For this you know,
that no whoremonger,
nor unclean person,
nor covetous man,
who is an idolater,
has any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ
and of God.
Let no man deceive you
with vain words:
for because of these things
Comes the Wrath of God
upon
the children of disobedience.”
*
These individual human beings
who are spoken of, by God,
as the “children of disobedience”,
consist of any naturally born souls of mankind who are disobedient to the light of nature, rebel against the light of nature revealed to them
and conclude that there is truth in unrighteousness,
And ARE THEY who are also disobedient
to the Law of God, break it,
and are convicted by It, as transgressors.
These individual “children of disobedience”,
are THE ONES whom God’s Law Pronounces Guilty.
God’s Law, then,
is the Administration of Condemnation
and Death to them.
These are individual human beings
who are disobedient to the Gospel of Christ,
they do not obey The truth,
but they D
bey unrighteousness,
and they are slaves to their sinful lusts and pleasures.
On these “children of disobedience”
comes Indignation and Wrath,
Tribulation and Anguish;
even on every soul of man that does evil,
& as in 2 Thessalonians 1:8;
“In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God,
and that obey not the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ”
*
And in Romans 2:8, 9;
“but to those who
are selfishly ambitious
and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness,
wrath and indignation.
There will be
tribulation and distress
for every soul of man
who does evil,
of the Jew first
and also of the Greek.”
*
These people DON’T BELIEVE.
And they are represented as unbelievers,
IN THE BIBLE:
“He that
believes not the Son,
will not see Life;
but the Wrath of God
Abides on him”:
