Christ HAS Redeemed Us From The Curse of The Law!!

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

Scriptural Foundation: Isaiah 53:4-5; Galatians 3:13

“⁴ Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. ⁵ But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed” (biblegateway.com – NKJV).

Christ HAS redeemed us from the curse of the Law! The Law required us to pay for our sins; the wages for sin according to the Law is death! Jesus has taken care of our debt for us by dying on the cross and taking our sins upon Himself and we now have a choice whether we are going to live or die – heaven or hell – blessings or cursing! There is NO in-between; you are either for God or against Him – there is NO middle ground!! All you have to do to receive the new life Jesus has already died for you to have is accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior AND embrace His righteousness – develop a personal relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit so you can walk out your new life!! We are made whole, we are made complete in Christ!! We are NOT who were before!! Our past does not dictate who we are or will be in the future!! We are a new creation in Christ Jesus once we accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior!!

God has had a plan for our lives before the world begin and nothing or nobody is going to stop it. The only way God’s plan for your life is not completed, YOU give up! We belong to God and nothing or anybody is able to pluck us out of His hand! Even the enemy using Eve to cause Adam to disobey God did not stop God’s plan for mankind – he could not do it then and will not stop God’s plan NOW – God had a Ram in the bush and His name is Jesus Christ!! God knew everything that happened in the Garden would happen; there is nothing which happens that takes God by surprise.

God prepared a way of escape for us (ALL mankind); the way is ALREADY made – you do not have to work for salvation because Jesus already has given you salvation and along with it, EVERYTHING you need to live in this world with the victory (He has overcame the world) – Jesus has paid for salvation with His life and now all you have to do is receive it!!

Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 53:4-5 about Jesus; how He would take away the sin, sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, iniquities, sorrows, griefs, etc. of mankind and give us His peace, His love, His joy, His gentleness, His longsuffering, His faith and His goodness – among other things; through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12-14; Galatians 5:22). Jesus also gave us His righteousness so we could become righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21); this is what makes us brand new creatures in Him. Our righteousness WERE as filthy rags but now we are washed by the Blood of the Lamb – Jesus!! However, in order for this new life to be manifested in us, we MUST accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior – then every promise in the Book can be manifested in our lives.

God bless,
