"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" (Gal. 3:13-14).

Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, which is given in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. The Lord told the children of Israel if they didn't obey Him, all the terrible curses listed in this passage would come upon them.

Spiritual death is a part of the curse. So are poverty and every kind of sickness and disease. Verse 61 says, "Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee." These are the curses that result from breaking God's laws.

But Galatians 3:13-14 tells us the good news: Believers have been redeemed from the curse of the Law through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. That curse doesn't exist anymore for the believer. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 doesn't apply to God's children, because Jesus took that curse upon Himself when He went to the Cross.

That's the Good News!

In Deuteronomy 28:1-14, the Lord gives us the blessing of Abraham. That blessing includes divine health. We have been redeemed from the curse of every sickness and every plague-even those not mentioned in the Law. We have been redeemed from cancer, arthritis, colds and flu. If we can name it, we have been redeemed from it!

Confession:
When I received Jesus as my Savior, He freed me
from the curse of the Law. Because He took
the curse upon Himself as my substitute,
I am now redeemed from every sickness
and disease and I walk in divine health!
