The closer I get to who Jesus is, the more I realise that, yes, I am a sinner. That’s true. But I am a deeply loved sinner.
Ever felt bogged down by the weight of legalism and the feeling that you just can't measure up? In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the heavy topic of legalism and its impact on our self-perception and relationships. They argue that the closer we get to understanding Jesus, the more we realise that, while we are imperfect, we are deeply loved.
This episode is a heartfelt discussion that draws parallels between God's love for us and a parent's love for their children, making it relatable and easy to grasp. They emphasise that God’s love is not judgmental but restorative, aiming to bring about healing and newness in our lives. The hosts also touch on the importance of language and how shifting from seeing ourselves as 'bad' to 'imperfect but loved' can make a world of difference in our recovery journey.
