Concerning life in a fallen world…. the sinful nature makes victims of us all!

Let’s examine the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf situation from God’s perspective. Biblically, living in a fallen world means existing in a reality marred by humanity’s original rebellion against God (the Fall). This introduced sin, brokenness, and a curse into creation. The Bible teaches that all humans are born with an inherited fallen or sinful nature. Both the perpetrator and the victim share this broken human condition, meaning they are both victims of the physical and spiritual consequences of living in a fallen world. The complete eradication of pain and sorrow is reserved for the future restoration of all things (Revelation 21:1-5). We need Jesus because there are eternal consequences involved for all. Be encouraged!
