God's wrath is actually good news. If God were not wrathful over sin and suffering, we'd have to be deeply concerned.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives deep into Romans 1:18 to unravel the complex concept of God's wrath. The discussion kicks off with an intriguing contrast between God's love and wrath, raising the question - can a loving God also be wrathful? Colin uses relatable anecdotes, like a parent protecting their child, to illustrate how wrath can be an expression of love.
He explains that God's wrath is not about anger for anger's sake but is driven by a profound love for humanity and a desire to protect it from self-destruction. The episode also explores how suppressing the truth about God leads to a state of spiritual crisis, filling our lives with guilt, shame, and fear.
By understanding God's wrath as a form of divine protectiveness, Colin aims to shift our perspective and help us see it as good news rather than something to fear. If you're curious about how these ancient scriptures apply to modern struggles, especially in the context of addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and reflections. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey through faith, love, and divine justice.
