Half a gospel creates no Christian.
Rick Peterson brings a fresh perspective to Christian counselling in this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries. He tackles the notion of 'half-truths' that can lead believers astray, reminding us that living in Christ means embracing the full gospel, not just snippets that sound comforting. It's a call to recognise the profound transformation that being 'in Christ' offers – a new narrative that transcends the old tales of sin and struggle.
Peterson delves into Ephesians, highlighting how God’s plan predates creation itself, choosing us to be holy and blameless. He challenges the listener to see themselves as new creations, not just sinners saved by grace. The episode explores how we’re adopted into God's family with full rights, not as second-class citizens. The focus shifts from merely escaping sin's consequences to living a life that reflects the image of Christ.
You’ll hear about the significance of being sealed by the Holy Spirit, ensuring your place in God's story. Peterson doesn't shy away from discussing how many have been taught half-truths that hinder their spiritual growth. His passionate plea is for you to embrace your identity in Christ fully – a message that’s both comforting and convicting.
The episode is a rich tapestry of theology and personal reflection, offering hope and clarity for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their faith journey. If you’re looking to break free from old narratives and embrace the transformative power of being 'in Christ', this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
