The biggest error that faces Christians is thinking that righteousness comes from the bottom up.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives deep into the first chapter of Romans, focusing on verses 16 and 17. He discusses Paul's powerful message about the Gospel of Christ and its transformative power. Paul assures the Romans that he's not ashamed of the Gospel because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, whether Jew or Greek.
Colin explores Paul's journey from a strict follower of the law to a devoted believer in Christ's righteousness. Paul’s encounter with Jesus reshaped his understanding of righteousness, shifting from self-righteousness to the righteousness of God through faith. Colin emphasises that the righteousness of God is a gift from above, not something that can be earned through human effort. This top-down approach to righteousness challenges the common belief that one must work their way up to achieve salvation.
Instead, it is about accepting God's grace and mercy, which are freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. Colin explains how this understanding can reshape one's life, offering a new perspective on faith and salvation. The episode also touches on the broader implications of this message, highlighting that God's plan for righteousness includes everyone, and it’s not limited by human boundaries or efforts.
Colin's reflections on these verses are both enlightening and encouraging, offering listeners a chance to rethink their approach to faith and righteousness. If you're seeking a deeper understanding of faith and salvation, this episode provides valuable insights and reflections that can inspire and uplift. Colin’s heartfelt discussion invites you to embrace the transformative power of the Gospel and see righteousness as a divine gift rather than a human achievement.
