Episode Overview
- Faith can be distorted by emotional wounds from childhood.
- True righteousness comes from Christ alone.
- Many people struggle with trying to earn God's approval through works.
- Understanding the gospel helps find peace and joy in faith.
- Genuine enthusiasm for God comes from knowing you are already accepted.
You see, having a zeal for God not according to knowledge is not according to the knowledge of the gospel.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin tackles the intricate relationship between faith and emotional wounds. He starts by discussing Romans 10:2, where Paul talks about having a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. Colin explains that this issue isn't limited to any one group but affects many Christians who, despite their enthusiasm, struggle with deep-seated emotional wounds.
These wounds often stem from childhood experiences and manifest in a distorted faith that relies on works rather than resting in God's grace. Colin shares that many people come to Jesus with significant problems and find initial joy in their conversion. However, old struggles and temptations often resurface, leading to a cycle of trying to earn God's approval through good deeds.
This approach, he argues, only reinforces emotional wounds and leads to a faith based on guilt and fear rather than peace and joy. He highlights the importance of understanding the true gospel, which teaches that righteousness comes from Christ alone. By recognising that Jesus has already taken the judgment for our sins, believers can find peace and live out their faith with genuine enthusiasm, not out of a need for approval but because they are already accepted by God.
Colin's reflections are both personal and broad, making this episode particularly relatable for anyone struggling with the balance between faith and emotional health. If you've ever felt that your efforts to please God are never enough, this episode offers a fresh perspective on finding peace and joy in your spiritual journey. So, if you're looking for an honest discussion on faith, emotional wounds, and how to reconcile the two, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
