Recognising faith as a divine gift shifts the focus from our efforts to God's grace and support.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives deep into the concept of faith and its role in overcoming addiction. Focusing on Romans 3:27-28, he challenges the common belief that faith is a product of human will. Instead, Colin argues that faith is a gift from God, and understanding this can transform how one approaches their struggles, including addiction to alcohol.
He explains that if faith is seen as something we produce ourselves, it leads to boasting and self-reliance, which can be a stumbling block in recovery. However, recognising faith as a divine gift shifts the focus from our efforts to God's grace and support. Colin uses relatable examples to illustrate how this perspective can change one's prayer life and attitude towards temptation.
By relying on God's gift of faith, rather than our own willpower, we can find strength and peace in moments of weakness. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of theology applied to real-life struggles, offering a fresh perspective for anyone grappling with addiction.
