'God's wrath is to give humanity precisely what it wants instead of Him.'
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the challenging topic of humanity's condition without God, focusing on Romans 1:24, 26, and 28. This isn't the cheeriest subject, but stick with it – there's a lot to unpack here. Colin explains how God's wrath is actually motivated by love and how it aims to bring us back to Him.
He shares that humanity tends to suppress the truth about God, choosing alternatives like money, drugs, or self-acclaim instead. This suppression leads to a futile mind and distorted emotions, a state Colin calls the 'dark mind'. He argues that atheists too rely on crutches, whether they admit it or not, just different ones than believers do. Colin emphasises that God's wrath isn't about abandoning us but giving us over to our choices to show the bankruptcy of these alternatives.
It's like the story of the prodigal son – sometimes we need to hit rock bottom to realise our need for God. By the end of the episode, Colin brings it back to a personal level, encouraging those in crisis or addiction to see their situation as a way to find God. He reassures that God is not against us but is our defender, pushing us to the end of our resources so we can truly know Him.
If you're struggling with addiction or feeling trapped, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on how faith can be your way out. Give it a listen and see if it resonates with you.
