What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol, and how can faith-training in the Gospel of Christ be a guiding light in that journey? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook,' listeners are taken on a deep dive into the Book of Romans, uncovering the profound concepts of salvation and freedom.
The episode highlights how Paul the Apostle juxtaposes the two Adams—one bringing sin and death, the other righteousness and life—and explains how these represent two kingdoms that influence our existence. Colin Cook shares that while we may struggle with occasional sin, our identity and judgment are no longer tied to the kingdom of Adam but rather to the liberating kingdom of Christ.
This perspective offers a transformative understanding of faith, shifting from the idea of keeping Jesus in our hearts to realising that we are kept in his heart by his faithfulness. It's a refreshing look at how faith can redefine one's life, especially for those on a recovery journey.
Cook encourages listeners to explore chapters 5 through 8 of Romans, where Paul describes freedom from wrath, sin, law, and death—concepts that can provide comfort and guidance for anyone feeling trapped by addiction. With a blend of theological insight and practical application, this episode offers a unique perspective on how understanding these biblical truths can bring about a sense of peace and liberation.
If you're curious about how spiritual insights can aid in addiction recovery or just looking for a fresh perspective on faith, this episode is sure to provide some enlightening food for thought. How might these ideas change your view on personal struggles and triumphs?
