The law was not meant to put a brake on sin, but to arouse it.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes a deep dive into Romans chapter 5 and unpacks some of Paul's more challenging ideas. Colin explores why God introduced the law, not to curb sin, but to increase our awareness of it. This surprising concept is central to understanding our need for grace and mercy.
Colin uses relatable examples, such as the struggle with alcohol, to illustrate how guilt and awareness of sin can actually drive us closer to seeking God's help. He highlights that the law makes us aware of our shortcomings and, paradoxically, excites sin, making us realise our desperate need for redemption. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on how recognising our flaws can lead us to a greater appreciation of God's grace.
Colin's engaging and relatable style makes complex theological ideas accessible and relevant to everyday struggles. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how faith can help intercept addiction and lead to a more fulfilling life.
