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 the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13-14)
Redemption involves more than just removing sin and defeating death. God’s redemption is about transforming the curse into blessings in our lives. God did not merely forgive us; He redeemed us. Many believers struggle because they live as though they are still under the curse, yet Christ has already paid the price to usher them into a life filled with blessings.
This means that everything the curse introduced—death, pain, destruction, sickness, poverty, and separation from God—has been entirely overcome and should no longer be a part of our earthly experience. Instead, we receive Abraham's blessing and the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The blessing of Abraham signifies our call to experience God’s blessings in every area of our lives. No aspect is meant to remain untouched by this blessing. Your family is meant to receive blessings; your finances are meant to flourish, and your job, along with the ministries and church you are involved with, is blessed.
The promise of the Holy Spirit is also received through faith as your faith connects with the Holy Spirit’s ministry. What is His ministry? He guides us into all truth, empowers us to walk in blessings, and activates grace in our daily moments. The Holy Spirit leads us into the empowered life that Jesus intended for all who follow Him.
Practical Application
Stop identifying with lack, sickness, or fear. That is not who you are or what you have been promised. Christ has redeemed you, so receive it! Speak and declare God’s promises over your life.
