Living and Dying for the Lord: A Journey Through Romans 14
Episode Overview
We do not live or die to ourselves but to the Lord. Judgment is not about doom but recognising God's mercy. Living solely for oneself leads to isolation. Cultural habits should not be a basis for judgment among believers. God's ultimate plan is for salvation through Jesus Christ.
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the deep and thought-provoking passages of Romans chapter 14. He discusses how none of us live or die to ourselves but to the Lord, emphasising the interconnectedness of all believers regardless of their cultural habits or rituals. This perspective encourages us to stop judging others based on their differences and instead see them through the lens of Jesus Christ's salvation.
Colin explores the idea that living solely for oneself leads to isolation and loneliness, contrasting this with the comforting notion that we live and die to the Lord, accompanied by His presence and guidance. He also clarifies common misunderstandings about judgment, highlighting that it is not about doom but rather a path to recognising God's mercy and ultimate plan for salvation.
Colin's reflections are both personal and broad, offering a compassionate view on faith and judgement that resonates deeply with anyone seeking solace in their spiritual journey. Tune in for a profound exploration of what it means to live and die for the Lord, and how this understanding can transform your perspective on life and death.
