Redeemed From the Curse of the Law

GALATIANS 3:13 13 Christ hath REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
We are redeemed from the curse of the Law. What is the curse of the Law? Go back to the Law and find out. The Law invariably refers to the first five books of the Bible, also called the Pentateuch. As you study those five books of the Law, you will find that the curse or the punishment for breaking God’s Law is threefold: It is poverty, sickness, and the second death. Amen

In Whom We Have Redemption

EPHESIANS 1:7,8 7 IN WHOM [in Christ] we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence. I want you to notice the first part of verse 7, “In whom we have. . . .” Notice the expressions “in whom” and “we have.” Thank God, we are not trying to get redemption; we have it. We are not going to have it some time in the future; we have it now—present tense. What is it that we have now in Him or in Christ? Redemption. That means that Satan’s dominion over our lives has been broken! Satan lost his dominion over your life the moment you became a new creature. In the new birth, you received a new lord, Jesus Christ (Col. 1:13). Now Jesus Christ is to reign over your life. Satan was your lord, but now Jesus is your Lord. Romans 10:9 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus [or Jesus as Lord] . . . thou shalt be saved.” Satan’s dominion ended and Jesus’ dominion began the moment you were born again. “In whom [Jesus Christ] we have redemption . . .” (Eph. 1:7). From what and from whom are we redeemed? Many times people say, “Thank God, I’m redeemed from sin.” That’s a part of the story, but not nearly all of it. Amen

New Creatures in Christ 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST [there’s the expression “in Christ”], he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. What a revolutionary truth this scripture is for the Church to teach, believe, and confess! We are new creatures in Christ Jesus. We are not just forgiven sinners. We are not poor, weak, staggering, sinning, “barely-getting-along” church members. That is not who we are. We are new creatures, created by God in Christ Jesus. Paul said, writing to the Church in Ephesus, that we are created by God in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:10). Therefore, we are new creatures created in Christ Jesus with the life of God, the nature of God, and the ability of God in us. Second Corinthians 5:17

What Are We To Confess?
The major problem for us in this area is to know what we are to confess. Our confession needs to center around these principal truths:

1. What God has done for us through Christ in His plan of salvation.

2. What God has done in us by the Word and the Holy Ghost in the new birth and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

3. Who we are to God the Father in Christ Jesus.

4. What Jesus is presently doing for us at the right hand of the Father where He ever lives to make intercession for us.

5. What God can accomplish through us, or what His Word will accomplish through us as we proclaim it.
Amen

If we just live on one side of this confession subject—the negative side—and constantly confess our faults and failures, and that’s all we ever confess, then we are going to grow to be lopsided in our Christian life. This will build weakness and sin and failure-consciousness into our spirits. Actually, Christianity is called “The Great Confession.” Confessing is actually three things: 1. Confession is stating something we believe. 2. Confession is declaring something we know to be true. 3. Confession is proclaiming a truth we’ve accepted wholeheartedly. In other words, your confession is a proclamation of what you know to be true. Your confession states what you believe. Your confession declares something you know. And your confession proclaims a truth you have accepted wholeheartedly. Amen

ROMANS 10:8-10
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy heart: that is, the word of FAITH, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION.

Now notice in verse 8 that the word of faith must be in your mouth as well as in your heart for faith to work for you. If the Word is only in your heart, it won’t work. But when faith is in both your heart and in your mouth, thank God, your faith will work! Amen

The Faith to Receive

In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is provision for every need—salvation, deliverance, safety, preservation, healing, and soundness. Whatever need you have, the faith to receive your answer comes from hearing the Word of God. As you determine to feed upon the Word continually, you will see your faith grow to be able to receive the wonderful promises God has provided for His children. Amen
