How can we love our enemy if we think our enemy is a vermin?
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the focus is on Romans 10:12 and the profound idea that your enemy is someone Jesus died for. Colin Cook dives into the complexities of faith, salvation, and the universal need for grace. He challenges the notion that believing is difficult, emphasising that faith is near to us, in our mouths and hearts.
Through personal reflections and biblical teachings, Colin unpacks Paul's message that there is no distinction between people - whether Jew or Greek - as all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Colin addresses the common human tendency to judge others based on their outward appearance or past actions, urging listeners to see everyone as equal in God's eyes. He explores how societal and cultural biases can lead us to dehumanise others, especially in times of conflict.
By referencing historical examples, he illustrates how such attitudes can perpetuate division and hatred. The episode takes a deep dive into the concept of calling upon the name of the Lord for daily needs, not just for salvation. Colin encourages listeners to pray for everything, from daily bread to financial stability, and even friendships. He believes that recognising God's hand in every aspect of life can bring about a deeper sense of gratitude and connection to the divine.
This episode is a heartfelt call to embrace the gospel's levelling effect, which breaks down barriers and fosters unity among all people. Colin's thoughtful and compassionate approach makes this a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of faith and grace. So, if you're ready to challenge your perceptions and embrace a more inclusive view of humanity, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to explore how the teachings of Paul can transform your perspective on yourself and others.
