In today's episode, we delve into the complexities of human nature, sin, and redemption as seen through the lens of scripture. Pastor Colin challenges the common belief that a person can live like the devil yet still be "good at heart." He underscores the importance of aligning our worldviews with the truths of the Bible, rather than compartmentalizing our faith from the realities of life.
We explore the doctrine of sin, considering how it inhabits the human heart and the critical need for redeemer in our lives. Pastor Colin invites us to open our Bibles to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, verses 8 to 12, as he shares his message on the Lord Jesus Christ coming in glory. He addresses the dark powers at work in the world and how they will culminate in the figure known as the Antichrist.
Pastor Colin shares the idea that our struggles are not with flesh and blood but with the spiritual forces of evil. He emphasizes the power of Jesus Christ to overthrow these forces, simply with the "breath of his mouth" and the "splendor of his coming." This demonstration of sovereign power is both an encouragement and a reminder of the ultimate victory found in Christ.
