It is a great privilege for us to have our Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and deliverer. We need to know from what we have been saved and delivered today? Many of us think and believe that Jesus saved us only from our sins. It may be true partly, but the scripture says that Jesus manifested to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Jesus delivered us from the present evil world (Galatians 1:3).
Any man in this world is affected by either sin, curse, disease, or poverty, which is what the Bible calls the works of the devil or evil things of the world.
Our Saviour Jesus has come to deliver us from these four things (sin, curse, disease, and poverty), so that we might have abundant life (1 John 10:10).
1 Peter 2:24 says that, ““He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.””
Galatians 3:13 says, “ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”
Mathew 8:17 says that, “This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.””
2 Corinthians 8:9 says “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”
3 John 1:2 says “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.”
There are plenty of other scriptures to prove that Jesus came to save us from sins, deliver from curses, heal our sickness and to prosper us. Therefore, let us believe His word, confess and receive all that Jesus has purchased on the cross for us and live an abundant life that God wants us to live.
