What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this enlightening episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook,' the focus is on faith, addiction, and the law. Colin Cook takes listeners on a journey through Romans 3:31, discussing how faith in Christ can intercept addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or even obsessive worry.
The episode challenges the common belief that one must have strong faith or good works to be justified, proposing instead that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone. Colin dismantles the idea of boasting about one's faith, explaining that faith is a gift from God, not a product of personal willpower. This thought-provoking discussion is perfect for those who struggle with addiction and feel burdened by the need to prove their worth through actions.
Instead, Colin encourages looking to Jesus for salvation, as neither works nor faith alone can provide evidence of salvation. Listeners will find comfort in Colin's assertion that the law serves as a mirror, revealing our brokenness and leading us to Christ. By recognising our flaws and seeking Jesus' mercy, we establish the law's purpose without being enslaved by it. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction and seeking solace in faith.
