Colin Cook takes listeners on a journey through faith and understanding, using the teachings of Paul to explore the concept of justification and forgiveness. With references to Romans 8:33 and 2 Corinthians 5:19, the episode tackles the idea that God has reconciled the world to Himself, not charging sins against humanity.

Colin's insights offer comfort, reminding you that despite life's trials, God is for you.
