    In today's lesson, we learn that apart from God, we will not gain anything from self-indulgence.

     | 3,276 views

    Evil and good live side by side, so we need to accept our sinfulness in order to receive our salvation. God in Christ takes on Himself the penalty we should receive.

    It would seem that the negative things in life grow of their own accord, but that the good things, positive things, take a lot of work.
