Encounter Recovery Ministries brings you a compelling episode titled 'God First Loved You'. In this episode, Rick Peterson tackles the often misunderstood concept of salvation in Christianity. He argues that many popular 'gospels' today have strayed far from the core Christian belief that it is God who first loved us, not the other way around. With a mix of scripture and personal reflections, Rick aims to debunk the notion that human actions can contribute to salvation.
Instead, he emphasises that the Christian life is a response to God's prior work on our hearts, minds, and wills. Rick walks you through various biblical passages, from John to Ephesians, illustrating that salvation is a sovereign act of God. He warns against the comfort of false gospels that lead people away from true Christian teachings and into spiritual complacency or despair.
With anecdotes from his counselling experience, Rick highlights how many Christians struggle with the misconception that they can earn their salvation through good deeds or moral living. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that the foundation of the Christian faith is built on God's love and action, not human effort. Rick's passionate delivery and scriptural backing make this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of true Christian doctrine.
So, if you're ready to challenge your beliefs and embrace the comforting truth of God's love, this episode is for you.
