Understanding Enmity with God

The concept of being an enemy of God is explored, particularly in relation to Romans 5:10. The discussion emphasizes that enmity is a two-way street; individuals may not recall feeling antagonistic towards God, but it is crucial to recognize that God has a just wrath towards sin. This mutual opposition means that reconciliation requires acknowledgment of both sides of the relationship. The podcast underlines the importance of relying on scripture to understand our true condition outside of Christ rather than depending solely on personal experience.
