Have you ever wondered why some people find faith in the most unexpected ways? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into Romans 9:16 to discuss the surprising and often unpredictable nature of God's mercy. Colin explains how salvation isn't something we can earn through sheer willpower or endless striving. Instead, it's a gift of mercy from God, often coming when we least expect it.
Using stories from the Bible and modern-day examples, Colin highlights how God's grace can reach even those who seem the furthest from redemption. He emphasises that no matter how much someone has struggled with addiction—whether it's alcohol, drugs, or any other vice—God's mercy is always within reach. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that salvation is not about our efforts but about accepting the mercy that God offers.
If you're feeling at your wit's end or struggling to overcome an addiction, Colin's message is clear: it's time to lean on God's mercy and let go of the burden of trying to save yourself. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that blends theological insights with practical advice for those battling addiction.
