In this final episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki concludes the series with a powerful message from Ephesians 1 on the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Continuing from the previous week, he unfolds the final qualifications of the Redeemer—His sympathy, His sinlessness, and His sufficiency—and shows how these truths culminate in the cross and resurrection. Through the blood of Christ, believers are redeemed, forgiven, and declared righteous according to the riches of God’s grace. His resurrection declares Him to be the Son of God with power and assures us that redemption is complete, justice is satisfied, and grace abounds toward us in all things.

Pastor Josh closes the broadcast with a heartfelt reflection on the immeasurable love of Christ—God’s Son who bore our debt in full so that we might never experience a drop of His wrath. Redemption is not just our justification; it is our wisdom and our calling to live for the One who gave Himself for us. As the program concludes, listeners are urged to hold fast to God’s Word, to grow in a Bible-based church, and to live in light of the cross—beholding the Redeemer, rejoicing in His grace, and becoming more like Him each day.

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.

Why does a loving God allow suffering—and what is He doing through it? In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores one of the deepest questions of life and faith: the place of suffering in God’s plan. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals that pain, hardship, and trial are not outside of God’s purpose. Suffering entered the world through sin, yet God uses it to reveal His righteousness, wean our hearts from earthly attachments, and prepare us for the glory to come. Whether the trial comes from the brokenness of the world, persecution for Christ’s sake, or even our own mistakes, believers can rest in the truth that nothing escapes God’s notice—and everything can work together for good.

Pastor Josh reminds listeners that the goal of the Christian life is not the removal of pain but spiritual renewal through it. Suffering humbles us, deepens our faith, and draws us nearer to the God of all comfort. As we trust in His grace, our trials become testimonies of His strength, shaping Christ’s character within us and becoming a ministry to others who suffer. In Christ, no pain is wasted, no hardship is unseen, and no believer walks alone—for the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.
