Now let’s look at what religion can do to people.

2 Kings 18:4
4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden imaged and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.

This is what religion does to you. Now they are worshipping the pole. Many people have cross on their necks and some cross still have Jesus on it, but Jesus is no longer on the cross. You must be careful that you are not worshipping the object.

John 19:19
19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

God is setting the stage that Jesus was to hang on the cross as predicted in the Old Testament. Jesus will hang everything on the cross that only blessing will remain. Pilate did not know what he was doing but God was setting them up.

John 19:30
30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished! ” And bowing His head He gave up His spirit

Here it in not redemption that is finished because he has not went to show himself to the Father, but what is finished is the law. It is finished! Old law is finished. He gave up His spirit.

We have been redeemed from poverty, sickness and death. Both physical and spiritual.

John 19:32-33
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. “But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

You see, Joseph the Arimathea went to get His body and Pilate asked if He was dead already, because they did not kill Him, He gave up the spirit. You are not to be sick but you are to resist sickness and stay healthy.

We have been teaching on sin but we have to be teaching on righteousness.

It is not God’s will that you be poor, but God will allow what you will allow. God has given you choice on what you going to be settled for, including how long you want you want to live, how rich you want to be how successful you want to be.

When you talk about redeemed from the curse, God did not curse but He only told them the result of their action. The curse was already on the earth.

Genesis 2:15-17
‘5 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of
every tree of the garden you may freely eat; ” but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. “

Death did not come from God. Death is a pervasion of life. Satan tried to become God and God put him out, so Satan came after Adam and Eve in a subtle way.
