| 0:19.0 | Hello and welcome back. |
| 0:20.5 | Thanks for listening. 888-914-9. That's the number to call. |
| 0:25.4 | 888-914-9. Quick email. This is from Robert listening in Los Angeles on our 93-KHJ station. He says, |
| 0:32.9 | Mary called God her savior in the Magnificat. Why does she need a savior if Mary is sinless? |
| 0:39.4 | And that's the whole email. Perfect. That's the right kind of email to send because it's easy |
| 0:43.2 | to read on the air. Very good question. So you're right. This is in Luke chapter 1 and the angel |
| 0:48.6 | Gabriel who appears to Mary and tells her the good news. She's going to conceive and bear his son. |

| 1:29.1 | nature that we inherit from Adam and Eve. She didn't have that, not because of anything she did, |
| 1:34.4 | but God's grace, and it was fitting and appropriate that he would do. It's not necessary that God |
| 1:38.8 | do this, but he did it for her. And so from that moment forward, she was preserved in grace and never fell into it. |
| 1:46.4 | Now, you and I are different because we fall into grace. First of all, we're conceived in the |
| 1:51.1 | condition of original sin, that fallen nature that we inherited from Adam. You didn't commit |
