How Do We Align with God’s Life Today?

In this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh, Dr. Brad Miller offers a progressive reflection on the Gospel of John, chapter 5, emphasizing the themes of alignment with God’s life-giving work, the true meaning of judgment, and the concept of resurrection life beginning now. Through practical examples and insightful commentary, Dr. Miller reframes judgment as a catalyst for justice and healing rather than condemnation, encouraging listeners to embody compassion, courage, and solidarity in their daily actions. The episode also includes actionable steps for living out these principles, a heartfelt prayer, and an invitation to join the mission of spreading the audible Word of God.

Takeaways:

1. Alignment with God’s work means modeling our actions after healing, restoration, and inclusion—following Jesus’s example.
2. Judgment in the passage is about setting things right and fostering transformation, not condemnation.
3. Resurrection life is presented as a present and active quality of life, expressed through love, compassion, and justice.
4. Practical steps—like pausing to “see and align” with life-giving actions—can embody these spiritual principles in everyday life.
5. Addressing issues such as racial equality, LGBTQ+ dignity, economic fairness, and environmental care are integral to faith-driven justice.
6. Listeners are encouraged to take tangible steps: seeking educational resources, advocating for justice, supporting the mission, and embracing ordinary acts of love.
