Faith and mercy take centre stage in this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook'. The discussion revolves around Romans 9:23-26, a passage often misunderstood, but here unpacked with clarity. Colin Cook shares his personal journey of faith, reflecting on how his life was transformed from the brink of destruction to a place of enduring belief and gratitude.
At 85, Colin's testimony offers hope and encouragement, as he recounts his conversion at age 15 and the unwavering faith that has carried him through life's trials. The episode explores the idea that God's wrath is motivated by love, aiming to reveal the emptiness of idols chosen as alternatives to Him. Instead, God wishes to showcase His mercy, drawing people towards His glory through envy and jealousy of the blessed.
With anecdotes like the son of Hamas finding faith in prison, Colin illustrates the profound impact of understanding God's love for enemies. The conversation also touches on the historical relationship between Jews and Gentiles, challenging preconceived notions about Israel's role in salvation. Colin emphasises that Christians have taken over the mission but not replaced Israel, as God's promises remain intact. This episode encourages listeners to lean on God's love and mercy, fostering compassion and sharing His grace with others.
If you're searching for a deeper understanding of faith or seeking solace in your recovery journey, Colin's insights might just be what you need.
