three nights in hell paying the price for
not only our sins, but for the healing of
our bodies. The great Apostle Peter
wrote a statement to that effect in his
first letter.
Look at 1 Peter 2:23-24:
23 WHO, WHEN HE WAS REVILED,
REVILED NOT AGAIN; WHEN HE
SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; BUT
COMMITTED HIMSELF TO HIM THAT
JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY:
24 WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS
IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT
WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE
UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE
STRIPES YE WERE HEALED.
I have noticed, through the years, that
most Christians if asked, "From what are
we redeemed?" will answer, "From sin, I
guess," or something like that. However,
Galatians 3:13-14 tells us not only the
answer to that question but also exactly
what happened at Calvary. I know you're
familiar with it but let's read it again and
shout about it.
13 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:
14 THAT THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM
MIGHT COME ON THE GENTILES
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST; THAT WE
MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE
SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.
Then in Deuteronomy 28:61, it's recorded
that every sickness and every plague not
written in the book of this law is under
the curse. Thank God, we, as believers,
are THE REDEEMED! We are not going to
be redeemed someday by going to
heaven. NO! We are already redeemed.
Word of Faith people should be shouting
Psalm 107:1-2. Why? Because of verses
19-20:
I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, NOT TO DO MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF HIM
THAT SENT ME. JOHN 6:38
WHO, WHEN HE WAS REVILED, REVILED NOT AGAIN; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE
THREATENED NOT; BUT COMMITTED HIMSELF TO HIM THAT JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY:
WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE,
BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE
WERE HEALED. 1 PETER 2:23-24
THEN THEY CRY UNTO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, AND HE SAVETH THEM OUT OF
THEIR DISTRESSES. HE SENT HIS WORD, AND HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM
FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS. PSALM 107:19-20
NOW FAITH IS THE ASSURANCE THE CONFIRMATION, THE TITLE DEED OF THE THINGS
WE HOPE FOR, BEING THE PROOF OF THINGS WE DO NOT SEE AND THE
CONVICTION OF THEIR REALITY FAITH PERCEIVING AS REAL FACT WHAT IS NOT
REVEALED TO THE SENSES.
HEBREWS 11:1, AMPC
