This document discusses the depravity and sinfulness of mankind. It notes that humans are infected with sin and even our righteous deeds are like filthy rags. All people are by nature children of wrath and dead in their trespasses. However, God is rich in mercy and because of his great love, he made believers alive with Christ even though they were dead in their transgressions. The document encourages reflecting on how God loved people while they were his enemies dominated by sin, and calls readers to accept Jesus Christ if they are not already part of God's family.
