Faith isn't about our righteousness; it's about trusting in Christ's sacrifice for us
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the focus is on understanding the concept of faith and obedience through the lens of the Book of Romans. Colin Cook breaks down each verse, offering a fresh perspective on Paul's teachings. He emphasises that faith in Christ isn't about striving for perfection but recognising that Jesus is our righteousness. This episode is particularly eye-opening for those grappling with addiction, whether it’s alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behaviours.
Cook explains that many people mistakenly believe they must rid themselves of their faults to be accepted by God. However, he argues that it's about accepting Christ's sacrifice and believing in His righteousness rather than our own efforts. Cook's reflections are both humbling and liberating, encouraging listeners to embrace their faith without the burden of achieving moral perfection. He also touches on the misconceptions about Jesus' resurrection and how different theories have evolved over time.
By the end of the episode, you'll feel a sense of relief and encouragement, knowing that faith is about trust and acceptance rather than relentless self-improvement. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with feelings of inadequacy or those who find themselves caught in the cycle of addiction and are looking for a spiritual anchor.
