I am No Longer Under a Curse

Deuteronomy 27:26

" 'Cursed is anyone who does not affirm and obey the terms of these instructions.' And all the people will reply, 'Amen' "

Galatians 3:10-14

But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God's Book of the Law." So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life." This way of faith is very different from the way of the law, which says, "It is through obeying the law that a person has life." But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.

I praise you, Lord, that I don't have to rely on obeying the law to make me right with you! Thank you, Jesus, for rescuing me from the curse pronounced by the law. Now I obey the law not to avoid a curse, but out of love for the one who saved me from the curse! I love you so much, Lord!! In Jesus' name, amen. <3

MEMORY VERSE

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

We are human, but we don't wage war as humans do. We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
