Do you know what we, as believers, were redeemed from when we were born again?
Most Christians would say we were redeemed from sin.
But while victory over sin is certainly included, according to the Bible, we’re redeemed from something even bigger. Something more all-inclusive. Something the whole world has been groaning under and crying out for deliverance from, for 6,000 years.
We’re redeemed from the curse.
As Galatians 3:13-14 says: “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: that the blessing of Abraham might come on [us] through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
Those two verses perfectly sum up the gospel. They talk about the curse, THE BLESSING and the promise. I don’t know if you realize it, but those three things are what the Bible is all about. From Genesis to Revelation, it’s about God’s BLESSING: It’s the message of how He gave that BLESSING to mankind, how we lost it and opened the door to the curse, and how God restored it so that we can walk in it and receive everything the Holy Spirit has promised.
