Episode Overview
- Satan uses the law to taunt Christians into false holiness.
- True holiness comes from a loving relationship with Jesus.
- Confessing our pretences to God helps us recognise our brokenness.
- Paul personifies sin as Satan in Romans chapter 7.
- Rigid law-keeping leads to deeper sin and guilt.
The only holiness we have is in Christ. Christ is our holiness.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes a deep dive into Romans chapter 7, where Paul discusses being dead to the law and the temptation it brings. Colin unpacks the idea that Satan uses the law to taunt Christians, pushing them to believe they can achieve holiness through their own efforts. This, he argues, is a trap leading to false holiness and deeper sin.
By personifying sin as Satan, Paul highlights how the devil exploits human weaknesses, urging Christians to rely on their own strength rather than on Christ's grace. Colin passionately explains that true holiness and a beautiful life come not from rigid law-keeping but from a loving relationship with Jesus. He emphasises the importance of confessing our pretences to God, recognising our brokenness, and trusting in Christ's love and mercy.
This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, sin, and the true path to spiritual fulfilment.
