Because of Christ, our brokenness is being made whole, and we can look forward to a glorious future.

In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul wrote that God brought “all things together in Christ” (Eph. 1:10). This means that because of Jesus, we are being healed in ways we could never have accomplished on our own. His death and resurrection …
• Freed us from sin. We are indwelt by God’s Spirit and have His power to resist temptation and obey.
• United us with our Savior. We live in Christ and He lives in us. He is with us always, wherever we go.
• Made us family. God is our heavenly Father, and we are His sons and daughters. Our spiritual family extends all over the world.
• Transferred us into the kingdom of light. The world is ruled by darkness, but anyone who calls Jesus “Savior” lives in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12-13). We are citizens of heaven.
• Gave us an eternal inheritance. We’ve already inherited the promises of Scripture, but more awaits us in heaven (1 Peter 1:4).
• Initiated sanctification. To sanctify means “to make holy.” With our cooperation, the Spirit transforms us into Jesus’ likeness throughout our years on earth.
When life wears you down, ponder all the ways God is actively healing you. He won’t give up on your redemption, even if you at times feel like giving up.
Bible in One Year: Proverbs 13-15
“Sound of Freedom” made headlines over the holiday weekend when the faith-based film displaced “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" for the top spot at the box office on July 4. And as quickly as the small-budget film splashed onto the scene, the criticism from Hollywood elites and the woke mainstream media followed. The film stars Jim Caviezel and tells the real-life story of a former Homeland Security officer who left his career to rescue children from sex-trafficking rings. Who would take umbrage with a movie about a hero saving children from pedophiles? In 2023, if that hero — fictionalized or flesh and bone — happens to be a heterosexual white male, the left-wing media eagerly does the bidding of Hollywood execs. “It’s now taboo to make movies or TV shows about men who heroically sacrifice, particularly heterosexual, evangelical white men. Those movies have been demonized as a reflection of toxic masculinity and white supremacy. Feminism and racial idolatry rule Hollywood.” Jason exposes pop culture's assault on the God-glorifying film. “Much of the criticism of the movie is camouflage, a clever ruse forcing defenders to debate it on safe, secular, and political terms. Is Caviezel a supporter of Q? Did the movie go too far exaggerating Ballard’s experiences rescuing kids? Does it promote the white savior trope?” Shemeka Michelle joins “Fearless” to share her review of “Sound of Freedom” as well as her thoughts on singer Jill Scott’s “remix” of the national anthem and Eboni K. Williams' plea for more black sperm. Plus, Steve Kim drops in to discuss Jemele Hill calling Asian-Americans out over white supremacy, Skip Bayless and Fox Sports pausing “Undisputed," and whether Stephen A. Smith is done at ESPN.

2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us that Jesus became poor in order that we might have the riches of grace. In other words, He left behind His divinity and took on the limitations of humanity—all for our benefit. As a result, we are:
• Chosen. God chose us from the beginning to belong to Him (2 Thessalonians 2:13), even though we do not deserve His kindness.
• Redeemed. We are no longer held in bondage to sin, because Jesus paid the penalty we owed (1 Peter 1:18-19).
• Justified. All of us have disobeyed, but in God’s eyes, followers of Christ are “not guilty.” (See Romans 3:23, Romans 3:28.)
• Reconciled. Sin put us at odds with God, but through Christ, our relationship with Him is restored (2 Corinthians 5:18).
• Forgiven. God has forgiven all our past, present, and future sins (Hebrews 10:10).
• Freed from condemnation. We could never have kept the Law perfectly—that’s why Jesus came to fulfill it. As a result, we can pursue holiness without fear of punishment when we fail (Romans 8:1-2).
The above words describe all of us who trust in Jesus whether we’re having a good day or a bad day. God sees us in those terms because He loves us. Along with the apostle Paul, let’s praise God, “who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph. 1:3).
