Finding Strength in Faith: Justification and Overcoming Addiction

Episode Overview

  • Faith-training in the Gospel can help intercept addiction.
  • Justification by faith means being declared innocent through Christ's righteousness.
  • Abraham's story is relevant to our understanding of justification.
  • Understanding justification can give us courage to face daily struggles.
  • The concept of justification is rooted in both the Old and New Testaments.
We're not judged by death anymore. And that declaration of innocence is not our intrinsic internal innocence, but Christ's innocence imputed or charged to our account.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the focus is on a profound exploration of Romans 4:25, where faith-training in the Gospel of Christ is discussed as a powerful tool for overcoming addiction. Colin Cook takes listeners on a journey through the story of Abraham, explaining how his faith was credited to him as righteousness and how this concept applies to us today.
You'll hear how God considers us righteous through Jesus, even though we are sinners, and what this means for our struggles with addiction and other life challenges. Colin explains that being justified by faith isn't just about forgiveness; it's about being declared innocent because of Christ's righteousness.
This episode is rich with biblical references and offers a deep dive into the concepts of justification and righteousness, making it clear that these are not just New Testament ideas but are rooted in the Old Testament as well. Colin's engaging style and insightful commentary provide a new perspective on how faith can give us the courage to face our daily struggles.
By understanding that we are seen as righteous in God's eyes, we can find new strength and hope to overcome our challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of faith and find practical ways to apply it to their lives.
