Hello, friends, this is Evangelist Scott Pauli. Welcome to this special edition of enjoying the journey.

Periodically, we take a week and take listener questions that have been submitted and try to answer those questions directly from the Word of God,

but we also learn something about ourselves.

We live in a fallen world.

We're surrounded by other fallen people. The entrance of sin

into the human race is rightly called the fall because sin never lifts a man. It always

world right now is groaning under the effects of the fall. And the only hope we have, thank God,

we have it, is in Jesus Christ. And I'll remind you that saved people still have a sin nature.

And sometimes even God's people experience great falls. That doesn't mean they return to their

original state of eternal separation from God
