In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into Romans 2:1-13 to unravel the often-misunderstood concept of religious confidence. Paul, the apostle, isn't just talking about the corruption of the pagan world; he’s also addressing the corruption within the religious world, including Christianity.

He recounts his years as a Sabbath keeper, detailing the internal conflicts and pressures that came with trying to maintain peace and rest in his mind. The episode is filled with personal anecdotes that illustrate the struggle between following religious laws and finding true faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul's message in Romans 2 is clear: it’s not about merely hearing the law but doing it perfectly. Colin explains how Paul plays devil’s advocate, challenging those who believe they can be saved by the law to truly keep it flawlessly. This thought-provoking discussion encourages you to reflect on your own beliefs and practices.

Whether you're struggling with addiction or just seeking deeper faith, this episode offers valuable insights and reflections. Tune in to hear Colin's heartfelt journey and Paul's powerful message. It's an episode that challenges, inspires, and ultimately points you towards a more genuine faith.
