In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes listeners on a profound journey through Romans 4:9-10. The central theme revolves around the concept that God's grace and mercy are not contingent upon our actions or adherence to rituals. Colin passionately explains how righteousness is credited to us through faith in Jesus Christ, not through our works or ability to overcome personal struggles, such as addiction.
He draws a parallel between the biblical notion of circumcision and modern-day struggles, illustrating that God's blessings are available to everyone, regardless of their circumstances or actions. Colin emphasises that God's love and grace are extended to both the religious and the non-religious, breaking down the barriers that often prevent people from seeking spiritual solace.
He challenges the notion that one must be 'clean' or free from addiction before coming to God, arguing instead that God's grace is what enables us to overcome these struggles. This episode is a powerful reminder that faith and grace come first, and our journey towards wholeness follows. It's a message of hope and encouragement for anyone feeling unworthy or distant from God due to their personal battles.
