Liberation From Our Fleshly Curse! Conclusion

God never intended it to be this way. His plan was for the spiritual and physical to be perfectly joined together. How can that be with the fallen state of mankind? Through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, we can walk in the Spirit though we are present in this physical body. Though we live in this physical world, we live and move and have our being in Jesus Christ (Acts 17:28). Through faith in Him, we are sanctified (set apart from the world). Heb. 10:10, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Through faith in Christ, we are regenerated (restored to a sinless state). Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” And through the saving grace of the cross, we are justified (just as if we never sinned). Eph. 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,..” Therefore, we can conclude that through Jesus' sacrifice we are restored to the relationship God had with man before the fall. Through Jesus Christ, we can walk in the righteousness of God with His Spirit living in us as our daily guide.

Why is that so important? God wants to walk with us in an intimate relationship. His intention is that His Holy Spirit is our counselor, comfort, rock, strong tower, mighty fortress, deliverer, provider, healer, and anything else we need. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” Phil. 4:19.

I want to note two very important factors in the relationship between God and Adam. 1)There was continued communication between them. 2)Obedience to God's instructions was absolute. When these two principles are observed, the spiritual and physical are perfectly joined together. The failure comes on our part when we either fail to communicate with God or fail to obey His instructions.

Through Jesus Christ, we are liberated from the fleshly curse of sin. We are redeemed, set free from the curse of sin and sin’s punishment. We are free to live and serve Him all the days of this life and the eternity which is to come. Thank You Jesus!
