If you and I cannot be accepted until we've overcome this or that, then the emphasis, the concentration, the focus comes upon human beings' performance.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives deep into the topic of faith and addiction, focusing on Romans 3:28. He passionately discusses the practical implications of being justified by faith rather than deeds. Colin shares some personal anecdotes about his own struggles with addiction and how certain church practices can be more of a hindrance than a help.
He argues that requiring individuals to overcome their addictions before being baptised contradicts the true message of grace. Colin's reflections are heartfelt and thought-provoking, making you question the balance between faith and works within religious communities. He also touches on the difference between moralistic churches and those that focus on salvation and redemption. Colin's stories and experiences highlight the importance of accepting people where they are in their journey of faith, rather than imposing strict conditions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or those supporting someone through their recovery journey. Colin's message is clear: faith in Jesus Christ should be the cornerstone, not the hurdles we face. Tune in to understand why grace should come first and how it can transform lives.
