Recovery Through Faith

In our time, rehabilitation from addictions has become an extremely relevant topic, as many people are suffering from various forms of addiction. It is especially important to understand how faith in God and spiritual practices can assist in the recovery process.

Being born again, we gain the opportunity for a new life. Faith in Jesus Christ provides strength and hope that our addictions can be overcome. The Bible invites us to seek this hope:

Matthew 11:28

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Many will find this promise along their path to healing. Through prayer and communication with God, we can find inner peace, even in the most difficult times.

Sanctification and restoration begin with the awareness of the problem. It is important to acknowledge our addiction and realize that without God, we cannot overcome these difficulties.

Romans 7:24-25

“What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Discovering this truth is the first step towards healing.

What is addiction? It is not only a physical aspect but also emotional and spiritual. Addiction can be related to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or even relationships. It is essential to realize that our recovery requires the involvement of all these aspects.

Undoubtedly, in our church, we see many testimonies of people who have found freedom through Jesus. By the power of the Holy Spirit, they have been able to leave their past lifestyles and embark on a new path, filled with hope.

Galatians 5:1

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

Faith helps us overcome fear and uncertainty. During rehabilitation, it is important to stay close to a community that offers support and love. When we have this community, we can encourage one another and grow stronger in faith.

However, we must not forget the importance of action. Faith without deeds is dead.

James 2:26

“As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

This means that without active steps towards improvement, our faith will not become a powerful tool for change. It is necessary to learn to set small goals to achieve greater ones ahead.
