You are dead to its judgment, its power to condemn you.
Ever feel like you're trapped in a never-ending cycle of rules and guilt? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into Romans 7:1-4, exploring the concept of being dead to the law. He explains how living by a set of rules can lead to feelings of inadequacy and guilt, which might even spiral into depression or obsessive-compulsive behaviours.
Colin's discussion is rooted in the Gospel of Christ, offering a perspective that faith can help intercept these destructive patterns. He draws a parallel between the law and marriage, suggesting that just as death frees one from the marital law, Christ's sacrifice frees believers from the condemnation of the law. This episode is not just for those struggling with addiction, but for anyone who feels weighed down by the pressure to meet impossible standards.
Colin's insights are both compassionate and thought-provoking, challenging listeners to reconsider how they view guilt and self-worth. If you're tired of feeling like you're never good enough, this episode might just offer the relief you've been searching for.
