Only the gospel in its fullness, the whole counsel of god, can bring about wholeness in your life.
Ever wondered why the gospel is so crucial in the journey to overcome addiction? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes a break from the current series to shed light on why contending for the gospel is essential for recovery. He argues that true healing and wholeness come from embracing the gospel in its entirety, rather than falling into the trap of pseudo obedience and traditionalism that many Christians unknowingly adopt.
Peterson explains how these counterfeit forms of worship can actually worsen our struggles, leading to crises of faith and even a complete loss of belief. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of sticking to the apostolic tradition of the gospel, centered on the exclusive authority of Jesus Christ. Through his mediating ministry, Jesus brings about holiness and godliness in believers, which is the ultimate goal of biblical recovery.
Peterson encourages listeners to dive deeper into the series to fully understand how the gospel can transform their lives and lead them to true recovery and holiness. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of the gospel in achieving lasting change.
