'We are freed from sin, not in the sense that we don't fail anymore, but we are freed from its identity and judgment.'
Ever wondered what it means to be 'freed from sin'? Colin Cook dives deep into Romans 6:6 in this episode of 'How it Happens'. This verse might seem straightforward, but there's a lot more to unpack. Colin explains that being 'freed from sin' isn't about never feeling temptation or failing again. Instead, it's about understanding that Jesus took our place on the cross, bearing the judgment for our humanity.
This realisation can bring a profound sense of peace and reduce the guilt, shame, and fear that often drive addiction. Colin emphasises that the key to breaking free from addiction isn't just about attending meetings or counting days. It's about truly grasping the gospel message and recognising that we are no longer under the condemnation of sin. This shift in mindset can render the 'body of sin' powerless, as we understand that our natural humanity was crucified with Christ.
Colin's passionate and compassionate explanation offers a fresh perspective on faith and addiction recovery. He encourages listeners to embrace this liberating truth and find comfort in knowing they are safe with Jesus. So, if you're struggling with addiction or simply seeking a deeper understanding of faith, this episode is a must-listen.
