"Coming to God is the easiest thing in the world because God has revealed himself to us as willing to receive."
Colin Cook dives into the intriguing passages of Romans 10, guiding you through the idea that faith is nearer than you might think. With humour and warmth, Colin explores how many people mistakenly place barriers between themselves and Christ, like church attendance or Bible reading, thinking these are prerequisites for faith.
He argues that these obstacles are self-imposed and unnecessary, suggesting instead that faith is about opening your heart to God as you are, without the need to overcome every addiction or flaw first. It's a refreshing take on how faith can be simple and accessible, even amidst life's chaos. Colin uses vivid examples to illustrate his points, from the irony of church being an obstacle to Christ, to the misconception that one must conquer addiction before embracing faith.
His conversational style makes the discussion relatable, as he encourages listeners to embrace 'cold turkey faith' – a straightforward belief in Christ's righteousness without the clutter of human conditions. The episode challenges you to rethink how you approach faith, emphasising that God's grace is simple and readily available. Colin paints a picture of God as a welcoming guest who doesn't mind the messiness of our lives, but instead brings light and encouragement into our hearts.
It's an invitation to stop making excuses and start seeing faith as an uncomplicated relationship with God. If you're curious about how faith can intersect with your struggles and provide clarity, this episode offers a compassionate perspective that's worth exploring.
