Episode Overview
- Misinterpretation of Romans 6:2 can cause significant psychological harm.
- The gospel is about Jesus Christ taking humanity's place, not about achieving a sinless state.
- Historical examples show extreme behaviours resulting from this misinterpretation.
- Righteousness is counted to us, not infused within us.
- Professionals are urged to re-evaluate their understanding of the gospel.
The gospel is not the gradual, slow infusion of holiness into a human being so that he slowly transcends his human nature.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes a deep dive into Romans 6:2 and its misunderstood teachings. He addresses professionals like therapists, counsellors, and pastors, urging them to re-evaluate their understanding of the gospel. Colin highlights how some have misinterpreted the concept of being 'dead to sin', leading to harmful psychological and spiritual consequences for their clients or congregations.
He explains that the gospel is about Jesus Christ taking humanity's place, not about humans achieving a sinless state through their own efforts. Colin shares historical examples of extreme behaviours stemming from this misinterpretation, including isolationism and even insanity. He passionately calls for a return to the true meaning of the gospel - one that brings gratitude and love for God's mercy, rather than neurotic attempts at perfection.
This episode is a compelling call to re-examine faith and understand righteousness as something counted to us, not infused within us.
