Pursuing the Wrong Goal: A Journey Through Romans 10
Episode Overview
Faith can help realign your priorities and guide you away from misguided goals. Understanding God's righteousness is crucial for spiritual fulfilment. Suppressing the truth about God's righteousness leads to guilt and shame. Self-righteousness often stems from a desire for validation and worth. Submitting to God's righteousness can lead to a more purposeful life.
We pursue red herrings. We pursue false goals. And we spend five or ten years realising what a waste of a decade we've gone through.
Ever wondered why we often find ourselves pursuing goals that seem to lead us nowhere? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes us through Romans 10:1-3, exploring the concept of pursuing the wrong goals and how faith can help us realign our priorities. Colin dives deep into the teachings of Paul, explaining how Israel's misunderstanding of God's righteousness led them to establish their own, often misguided, standards of righteousness.
Through engaging anecdotes and relatable metaphors, Colin breaks down complex theological concepts into digestible insights. He discusses how humanity's tendency to suppress the truth about God's righteousness leads to feelings of guilt and shame, and how this suppression drives us to seek validation through our own efforts. But what if we could submit to God's righteousness instead?
