Healing , the Blood and the Curse of the Law. How are these things tied together in our new covenant? We've heard about the Blood of Jesus and we've heard about our redemption, but what does this all mean to me in my personal walk with the Lord?
Lev.17:14(Amp) tells us, "As for the life of all flesh, the blood of it represents the life of it." The life of a lamb and the blood of it, could be received for the life of a man and cover him from death or the Curse of the Law, under the old covenant. In the new covenant, Jesus' Blood and Sacrifice is received by the Father and not only covers but eradicates the Curse and its many applications on our behalf.
The Spirit and its separation from the Father at Calvary, gave us Eternal Life and a new birth from death unto Life in Jesus. Our mortal bodies are still left vulnerable to the effects of the Curse. In Deut.28:15(Amp) God tells those in the old covenant, "Bu t if you will not obey the Voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments and statutes which I command you this day, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you." The rest of the chapter, is about how God will curse them. If the people violated God Laws, then the penalties would bring separation from the Blessing.
Jesus said in Matt.5:16-17(Amp), "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law of the prophets; I have not come to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until the sky and the earth pass away and and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook (identifying certain Hebrew letters) will pass from the Law until all things it foreshadowed are accomplished."
Gal.3:13(Amp) tells us, "Christ purchased our freedom (redeeming us) from the Curse (doom) of the Law, (and its condemnation) (by Himself) becoming a curse for us, for it is written in the scriptures, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (crucified). To the end that through their receiving Christ Jesus, the Blessing promised to Abraham might come on the Gentiles so that we through faith might all receive the realization of the Promise of the Holy Spirit."
Yes, but what about the Law? In Matt.22:36-40(Amp) Jesus speaks about the Law, saying that we are to "Love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves. These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets." Jesus fulfilled the Law and by faith in what He did, we only have these two laws to walk in now. The Blood and Sacrifice have born the Curse and sickness, the Spirit gave us our new creation Life and restored us back to God. We're clean and pure in spirit, soul and body.
We must believe what Jesus has done for us and live in and through Him in love. If we get our of love and sin, then we have the Ever Living Blood of our Sacrifice Lam, which continually gives us Life. Remember, "the life of all flesh is in the blood." We're still flesh and maintain life in the flesh, by the Life in Jesus' Blood. 1John1:7(Amp) says, "But if we really are living and walking in the Light, as He Himself is in the Light, we have true unbroken fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son (cleanses and removes us from all sin and guilt, keeps us from sin in all its forms and manifestations."
This is the healing and redemption from the Curse, given because Jesus became the Curse for us. He gave us His Blood to keep us clean and well. If we do sin, then His Blood and faith in it, will now cleanse us If we confess our sin before Him, then His Blood will keep us clean and well, so we can walk and live in THE LIGHT (the Light of His Word and Love).
