*THE NEW CREATION WAS NOT “REDEEMED” .*
Tuesday, September 5th .
Pastor Chris
_*Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people (Luke 1:68).*_
It’s clear those to whom the verse above refers: the Jews; they were the ones that needed to be redeemed, because they were under the curse of the law. Galatians 3:13 says, _*“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.”*_ Some Christians quote this scripture, assuming it to be applicable to everyone, whereas it applies only to the Jews. Paul was speaking generically as a Jew.
The Gentiles weren’t redeemed from the curse of the Law; they were redeemed from the condemnation of the Law. The very presence of the Law was the condemnation of the Gentiles. When God chose the Jews to be His people, and gave them righteous laws to live by, that immediately condemned the Gentiles. That’s why in Ephesians 2:12, the Gentiles are described as _*“...aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.”*_
However, in Christ Jesus, both the Jews and the Gentiles have been brought together to make one new man that’s neither a Jew nor a Gentile; that’s the new creation: _*“For he is our peace, who hath made both one*_ (the Jews and the Gentiles) _*and hath broken down the middle wall of partition…”*_ (Ephesians 2:14).
This new creation wasn’t redeemed from the curse of the Law, because he was never under the curse of the Law; he’s a brand new man that never existed before: _*“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”*_ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Your life transcends this earthly realm; it’s the life of Christ. You don’t have a past to be “redeemed” or delivered from, for your old nature was crucified with Christ, and now, you’ve been raised to a newness of life. Walk in this consciousness.
*CONFESSION*
*I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus, born with the life and nature of God! I’m a brand new man that never existed before, living the supernatural life naturally, and flying high on the wings of the Spirit. I’m prosperous, healthy, and strong, making impact with the Gospel, by the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!*
*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *2 Corinthians 5:17-21* Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. *||*
*||* *Colossians 3:8-10* But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: *||*
*||* *Romans 6:4* Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. *||*

# AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 5TH SEPTEMBER.
I affirm that this is the day that the Lord has made; I rejoice and I am glad in it. This is my season, and I'm living in the springtime of my life. The harvest around me is plenteous. The little I do is producing much results. The Lord has granted me wisdom for every decision I will ever take today. I will never make foolish mistakes, neither will I become a victim of another man's mistakes. Irrespective of the perils and tribulations in the world, I am shielded and protected in Christ. I am like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out her roots by the river; I don’t know when heat comes. I’m triumphant always in Christ Jesus! My way is paved; my going out and coming in, is blessed of the Lord. Hallelujah! Daily, I go out with joy and I am led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills are breaking forth before me in singing, and all the trees of the field are clapping their hands as I go in God's direction for my life. Glory to God!
