In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the intriguing and sometimes perplexing concept of the hardened heart as part of the process of salvation. Drawing from Romans chapter 9, Colin explores Paul's teachings on how God saves Israel, often throwing us a curveball by discussing the hardening of certain individuals while showing mercy to others. It's a fascinating look at how God’s methods might seem contradictory but are ultimately part of a divine plan.
Colin explains that this hardening is not for eternal damnation but rather a step towards eventual mercy and salvation. He connects this idea to the story of Pharaoh in Egypt, illustrating how repeated acts of mercy led to Pharaoh's hardened heart, which in turn revealed God's glory and strengthened Israel's faith. Colin also touches on how this concept applies to our lives today, especially when dealing with loved ones who seem resistant to faith.
By understanding and accepting the hardening process, we can pray with faith rather than anxiety, trusting that God knows what He’s doing. This episode is a thought-provoking journey into understanding divine mercy and resistance, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with faith and addiction recovery.
