Episode Overview
- The law reveals and amplifies sin.
- Sin uses the law to stimulate sinful behaviour.
- Jesus' sacrifice frees us from the law's condemnation.
- Human nature is inclined towards sin even after conversion.
- True righteousness comes from faith in Jesus.
When the law meets human fallen flesh, it's like throwing the cat among the pigeons.
Colin Cook takes you on a deep dive into Romans 7 in this episode of 'How it Happens'. He explores the concept of being freed from the law, not to live lawlessly, but to escape its judgment and condemnation. Cook explains that the law itself is not the problem; rather, it is sin that uses the law to stimulate sinful behaviour.
Through an engaging discussion, he unpacks Paul's message that the law was given to reveal and amplify sin, making humanity realise its need for God's mercy and the relevance of Jesus' sacrifice. Using relatable metaphors, Cook illustrates how the law interacts with human nature, comparing it to fire meeting gasoline - creating chaos and revealing our true sinful state.
He also addresses the misconception that Paul’s words are about pre-conversion life, asserting instead that they describe the ongoing struggle even after becoming a Christian. Cook emphasises that while our nature is inclined towards sin, Jesus' sacrifice offers us righteousness and motivates us to live by love. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with their faith and the role of the law in their spiritual journey.
