Wretched man definition
Wretched man means "miserable man." See the same word "wretched" in Revelation 3: 17. A miserable man in a miserable condition! Every believer needs to come to the place where he recognizes his own wretchedness. We need to see our desperate need, even as believers. God brings us to the depths of despair, not to keep us there, but that He might bring us to the heights of His grace. The wretched man is a captive and slave of sin -- wanting to do what is right but having no power to perform the good and ending up doing what he hates!
