Since Satan deceived Eve, humanity spiritually died. Almost six thousands years later, the wretchedness of the human condition is now worst than ever. Today, we have an estimated 8.7 billion people on earth, and 99.9 per cent of them are deceived, and spiritually dead.
The inspired words of the Chosen Vessel are these: "And you( the you, refers to the saints that were at Ephesus, who were once spiritually dead) has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins." The death Paul is referring to, is not a physical death, but a spiritual death. Then he added, "wherein (that is, in trespasses and sins) in times past you walked according to the course of this world (that is, you lived the way the world lives), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience"(Eph.2:1-2).
That says, every single person, and I don't care who you are, or how important you think you are, that ever lived or is alive today, except the very few that are converted, is influenced and drag around by the devil to disobey the wholesome teaching of Jesus Christ.
In the Chosen Vessel's epistle to Titus, the inspired words, that described the wretchedness of the human condition are these: "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy. hateful and hating one another"(Titus 3:3).
Of course, the we that were sometimes foolish, refers to Christians that are now wise.
