Romans 5, freedom from the judgment of God so that we are reconciled to his heart, we have peace with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes us on a profound journey through the book of Romans, specifically chapters 5 to 8. These chapters are more than just text; they represent a transformative reality that speaks to the heart of faith and recovery. Colin shares his personal experience from 1971 when he first encountered these teachings at Andrews University, under the guidance of Dr. Hans LaRondelle.
The classroom was so packed that people were standing in the aisles, reflecting the magnetic pull of these life-changing lessons. Romans 5 is all about freedom from God's judgment, highlighting that we are justified by faith and have peace with God through Jesus Christ. This peace isn't always felt emotionally but is a steadfast reality. Moving to Romans 6, Colin explains the freedom from the identity and condemnation of sin.
He vividly recalls walking on air after class, marvelling at the fresh air of heaven these teachings brought him. Romans 7 tackles freedom from the law, a challenging concept for those entangled in legalism. Colin reflects on his struggle with legalism and how understanding that Christ's righteousness is instantly imputed to believers set him free. Finally, Romans 8 offers freedom from death, transforming it from a judgment into an instrument of faith training.
Colin's reflections provide a deeply personal yet universally relatable insight into how these chapters can intercept addiction and bring peace. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its comforting and empowering message. Ready to explore how faith can transform your life?
