Let The Redeemed of the Lord Say So #1

    Ps.107:2(Amp) tells us, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary." 

    Many Christians don't seem to understand what the above scripture is saying to us. As the New Testament Church, we are the Redeemed of the Lord.  Gal.3:13(Amp) says, "Christ purchased our freedom (redeeming us) from the Curse (doom) of the Law (and it's condemnation) by (Himself) becoming a curse for us, For it is written (in the scriptures), Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified)." Deut.21:14(Amp) says, "To the end that through (their receiving) Christ Jesus, the Blessing (promised) to Abraham might come up on the Gentiles; so that we through faith might all receive (the realization of the Promise of the Holy Spirit)."

    The Promise God made to Abraham and his Seed, was the Promise of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Seed and this was the Promise that God made. It wasn't just receiving of the Holy Spirit on The Day of Pentecost the speaking in new tongues, like many believe. The Promise of the Holy Spirit is the "fullness" of Jesus Himself.  Gal.3:16-17(Amp) says, "Now the Promises (covenants,agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heirs); He (God) does not say, And to his seeds (descendants,heirs) as if referring to many persons, but unto Your Seed (Your Descendant, Your Heir), obviously referring to One Individual (Who is none other) than Christ (the Messiah)."

    We're no longer under the Law, but under Grace. Jesus said in Matt.9:17-18(Amp), "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo, but to complete and fulfill them. For truly I tell you, Until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little book (identifying certain Hebrew letters) will pass from the Law until all things (it foreshadows) are completed."

    We're no longer under the Law, but under Grace. This doesn't mean that we can live any way we please, without consequences. We're under two Laws only, according to Matt.22:36-40(Amp) where Jesus' follower asks, "Teacher, which kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? Some commandments are light-which are heavy? And He (Jesus) replied unto him; You shall love the Lord they God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. And a second one is like it; You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself. These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the prophets."

    We've been given a new Law, which is the Law of Love. It must be fulfilled by God's Grace and our love for Him, which has been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit. Rom.5:5(Amp) tells us, "Therefor, we have been now Redeemed from the Law through His Redeeming power, and have come into a new covenant and a new being through Jesus." Jesus fulfilled the Law and if we're in Him, then we've perfectly fulfilled the Law in Him and are out from the Curse of the Law.

     We no longer make sacrifices of goats and bulls and we no longer live under condemnation, because in Jesus, we have fulfilled the Law in the eyes of God. We are Redeemed from the Curse of the Law. We should read about the Blessing in Deut.28:1-14 and then read further about the things we tolerated under the Curse. We should read further and begin quoting scriptures, saying, "I am Redeemed from the Curse of the Law. Hallelujah, Amen!"
