Exploring Divine Mercy and Salvation with Colin Cook
Episode Overview
Salvation is not based on human merit but divine grace. God's call can come at unexpected times in life. Biblical stories illustrate the promise of salvation through faith. Personal experiences can reflect broader spiritual truths. Faith is often found when we reach the end of our own abilities.
You came to Christ because God called you – not because you were a special person, but because God was having mercy.
Dive into the spiritual journey with Colin Cook as he tackles the age-old question of salvation and God's promise in this episode of 'How it Happens'. Colin reflects on the biblical narrative of Abraham and Sarah, drawing parallels to the modern-day experience of finding faith amidst life's challenges.
With a mix of historical storytelling and personal anecdotes, Colin explores the concept of divine election – the idea that God chooses individuals for salvation, not based on their actions or virtues, but purely out of mercy. He delves into the story of Isaac, born from God's promise rather than human effort, and likens this miraculous birth to the promise of salvation through faith.
The episode also touches on Paul's teachings from Romans, explaining how God’s call is not about human merit but divine grace. Colin shares his own journey, recalling how he stumbled upon faith unexpectedly at a meeting he thought was about flying saucers. It's a tale that emphasises how God's call can come at any time, urging you to reflect on your own path to faith.
