Episode Overview
- Faith is a gift from God, not something we earn.
- Righteousness comes through God's grace, not our works.
- Abraham's story illustrates the training of faith through trials.
- Misunderstandings about Old Testament teachings are clarified.
- Even in doubt and struggle, God's grace shapes our belief.
God trains Abraham to have faith, and then counts that faith to Abraham as if it were his righteousness.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes you on a journey through the story of Abraham to illustrate how faith is a gift from God. By examining the life of Abraham, Colin highlights that righteousness is not earned through works but is bestowed by God's grace. He delves into the common misconception that faith is a bargain between man and God, where belief is exchanged for righteousness.
Instead, Colin explains that faith itself is a gift from God, cultivated through life's trials and challenges. Abraham's experience of waiting 25 years for God's promise to be fulfilled serves as a powerful example of how God trains us to lean on Him completely. Colin reassures that even in our moments of doubt and struggle, God's grace is at work, shaping our faith.
This episode is a comforting reminder that we don't have to muster faith on our own; it's given to us by a loving and merciful God. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how faith works and find solace in knowing that your journey mirrors that of the biblical patriarchs.
