Explanation
In this sermon, “natural men” means people who remain in their sinful, unconverted state rather than accepting God’s salvation. The excerpt says they are under God’s anger and have not appeased it, so “natural” does not mean living outdoors or caring for nature. The correct choice is “have not committed themselves to God.”
