"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 16 August 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Galatians 3:13-14 "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through Faith."
When Jesus died for us, He took the curse of God upon Himself and exhausted it. The Old Testament verse that is quoted in verse 13, is from Deuteronomy 21:23. By being crucified, Christ became cursed for us, and technically became guilty of "all" and ALL our sins were place upon Him. Because our faith unites us to our Savior, His death is considered ours, and in Him our sins, have been punished, so that we are set free.
The death of Christ was the purchase price that had to be paid. Because the price has been paid, we as believers have been taken off the slave market. We have been purchased by God and have been released from our slavery to sin and the Law, never to be in bondage again.
In verse 14, the word "that" appears twice, identifying two reasons that "Christ hath redeemed us from the law": (1) that Gentiles might receive the blessings of Abraham (justification) and (2) that believers might receive the Spirit (Indwelling of the Holy Spirit). This tells us that when one is justified, he or she is at the same time divinely granted the Holy Spirit. How comforting it is to know that "Christ" became the curse for us on the Cross of Calvary, and with His death and Resurrection we have been set free from the chains of bondage of sin that were wrapped around us. "Thank You Jesus"
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Prayer for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Always remember that when you are having spiritual, physical, and financial issues and you cry out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
Your Sister in Christ,
