The Redeemer & Redemption | Ep 25

In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki shares a message from the teaching ministry of Twin Cities Grace Fellowship, focusing on Ephesians 1 and the believer’s redemption in Christ. Listeners are reminded that the Christian life rests upon the sure foundation of God’s eternal purpose—His plan to redeem and reconcile all things in Christ. Through the shed blood of Jesus, we are forgiven, justified, and made partakers of all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. Redemption was not an afterthought but part of God’s counsel before the foundation of the world, foreseeing sin’s entrance and providing the cross as the means of deliverance.

Pastor Josh explores the provision and qualifications of the Redeemer, showing from Scripture that true redemption could only be accomplished by one who was both near to us, willing to pay the price, and fully able to do so. The Lord Jesus Christ fulfills every condition—our Kinsman-Redeemer, rich in grace, whose sacrifice was sufficient and whose inheritance remains unblemished. Through Him, believers enter into the riches of God’s grace and the exceeding riches still to come. This episode calls listeners to worship and wonder at the wisdom and justice of God revealed in Christ, the One who is preeminent in creation and redemption alike.
