Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Paul.

For some, the Christian life has been reduced to a one day a week church service experience,

and yet God, in His Word, teaches us that we are to walk with Him daily.

Today we look to God's Word to discover simple Bible principles that will help us as we live the daily Christian life. In my second year of college, I enrolled in a Greek class.

We were studying, of course, the principles of Greek so that we could do

word studies in the New Testament, and it was a challenging class to say the least. It met at 7 o'clock

in the morning. Now, let me just tell you, I don't think English well before 8 o'clock in the

morning, much less Greek. Nevertheless, it was a required course and one for which I'm now truly grateful.

There are many technical things about the Greek language that I do not remember, but I'll

never forget the first word study I was assigned. It came from a most familiar verse,

1 John chapter 1, verse number 9, that says, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all in righteousness what an amazing verse what a what a what a

principle and a promise and I've had to obey that verse and claim that verse thousands of times

through the years you see even believers are still sinners

in need of daily forgiveness and daily cleansing.

Your relationship as a Christian is settled,

but your fellowship, you have to work at that.

That has to be maintained.

But there was a word found in that verse

that I thought I understood,

a word that was assigned to me to study. It was the word confess.

And when I first began looking at that word, I thought, well, I know this word.
