God justifies the ungodly. That is, God declares the ungodly Godly.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the importance of faith in overcoming addiction. He takes a deep look at the story of Abraham, showing how faith, not works, is the foundation of righteousness. Colin argues against the common misconception that the Old Testament is about law and the New Testament is about grace, emphasising that God's grace has always been present.
Using the example of Abraham's faith journey, Colin illustrates how God trains our faith over time, sometimes taking years to break through our doubts and self-sufficiency. He encourages listeners to pin Romans 4:5 on their refrigerators as a reminder that God justifies the ungodly through faith, not works. This episode is a blend of biblical history and practical advice for those struggling with addiction, providing a fresh perspective on how to find hope and strength in faith.
