  • True righteousness comes from faith in Christ, not from our own efforts.
  • Paul's disciplined life under the law contrasts with his later faith in Christ.
  • Even our best works can be tainted with pride and imperfection.
  • Humbling ourselves before Christ is essential for genuine faith.
  • A childlike attitude is necessary to fully embrace faith in Jesus.
Our good works are plagued with pride, infiltrated with imperfection and brokenness.
Ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still missing something? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin shares his thoughts on the Book of Romans and how it relates to addiction recovery through faith in Christ. Drawing from Anders Nygren's commentary, Colin highlights the unique message of Romans, which isn't tied to a specific church issue but rather focuses on Paul's own struggles and triumphs.
Paul, a Pharisee who meticulously followed the law, found that true righteousness came not from his own efforts but through faith in Christ. This episode challenges you to rethink what it means to be 'good' and how sometimes, even our best efforts can be tainted with pride. Colin also discusses the 'ouchy-ouchy' feeling that comes with humbling ourselves before Christ and letting go of our self-righteousness.
Are you ready to embrace a childlike faith and acknowledge that your good works might not be as perfect as you think? This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction, self-righteousness, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of faith. Tune in to find out why true humility and faith in Christ can lead to genuine peace and recovery.
