2. You were following the devil (v2)
- The problem was not just that we were dead and hopeless… we were evil. We were being led by Satan and we didn’t even know it.
- We were like spiritual Zombies along with a multitude of others, and Satan was our prince… the puppeteer who controlled us.
3. You were carrying out the passions of your flesh. (v3)
- We weren’t just dead and hopeless, and being led by Satan’s mysterious evil forces… We were loving it.
- We got pleasure and satisfaction from doing evil.
4. You were children of wrath. (v3)
- Because we were dead in our trespasses and sins, following the devil, and loving it… we were enemies of God.
- God had every right to rise up against us.
