Redeemed from the Curse of the Law – learn what the curse is…
As a believer, one of the most powerful revelations you can have is to fully understand that you have been “redeemed from the curse of the law” because it is a huge key to a life of victory!
Redeemed from the Curse of the Law
Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ has redeemed us FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW. If we are to experience victory every day of our life we need to understand this truth and what it means to us.
Redeem means to purchase back or to buy up. It means to rescue from loss or to ransom. When you pay a ransom for something you pay a price in order to get someone or something back.
Jesus p
aid the price to release us from the curse of the law, to free us from the devil’s authority (Colossians 1:13), and to bring us BACK into His kingdom – with all its privileges and benefits including victory in our life. We are purchased by His precious blood and as a result, we are brought back to Father God.
What Are We Redeemed From?
We are redeemed from the “curse of the law”, but what exactly is the curse of the law? There are three major areas the curse of the law impacts the human race.
Curse of Spiritual Death.
Spiritual death is separation from God. Without Jesus, you are lost, separated from the Father, and spiritually dead. The moment you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you receive ETERNAL LIFE with God. You become what Jesus calls, “being born again”. (John 3:3 ) You become alive spiritually, a child of God, and as a result forever a citizen of the kingdom of God. Your sins are forgiven and you become a “NEW CREATION” in Christ. (2Corinthians 5:17) You are redeemed from the curse of spiritual death.
Curse of Sickness & Disease.
Sickness and disease are a curse. They are part of the curse of the fall and part of the curse of the law. The earth remains under a curse because of the fall of man in the garden of Eden, but through Christ, you are redeemed from the curse of the “Law”. “By His stripes, you WERE healed”. (1Peter 2:24) Jesus has provided healing for every sickness and disease just like He provided forgiveness for every sin. Psalms 103:2-3 says, “forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,”. You are redeemed from the curse of sickness and disease.
Curse of Poverty.
Poverty is a curse, not a blessing. The Word of God emphatically teaches that poverty is a curse (Deut. 28:16-19,38-40). And the Word of God teaches that Christ redeemed us from that curse. He redeemed us from poverty so we wouldn’t have to live in poverty and lack in this life. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sake, he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be made rich.”
Your redemption is far-reaching. When you realize Christ has redeemed you from spiritual death, poverty, and sickness you’ll be able to experience everything that belongs to you – peace, joy, freedom from guilt, shame, and condemnation. You will be walk in victory every day or your life.
Our Redemption is Past Tense
Notice our redemption is in the past tense – Christ has redeemed us – we have already been redeemed! We don’t need to be hoping and praying for, or trying to convince God to do something. He has already done it – “IT IS FINISHED”. The work of redemption from the curse of the law has already been established through Christ being cursed for us.
Walk-in Victory & Enjoy the Blessings
Christ paid the price in full for your redemption. Now it is up to you to believe and receive. Notice it doesn’t say the curse is no longer there. The curse is still all around us. You can see it throughout the world. But now you have a choice. You can in the Name of Jesus, walk-in victory by grace through faith.
Don’t allow the devil to deceive you and intimidate you with fear, guilt, and condemnation. God wants you to enjoy the blessing He has provided. Choose to live the abundant, prosperous, overcoming, and victorious life. How? By knowing you’ve been redeemed from the curse of the Law by the blood of Jesus Christ. Stand on God’s Word and claim the blessing of Abraham that is yours in Christ.
God’s already done it. He sent Jesus to redeem you from the curse. The rest is up to you. Now you must appropriate what has already been done for you. Believe it and receive it. It is a key to living the life of victory every day of your life!
