Receive What Jesus Purchased For You
You can receive What Jesus Purchased for You—freedom from sin, sickness, death and the curse of the Law.
If you’ve ever redeemed a gift card, then you know what it means to exchange what you have (the card) for something of value (what you purchase). You understand the process of redemption, naturally speaking.
When it comes to using this term biblically, it refers to the spiritual redemption Jesus purchased for you. The word redemption means “to buy back.” Jesus purchased your freedom, buying you back. Isaiah 43:1 says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine” (AMPC).
Receive What Jesus Purchased for You! - freedom from sin, sickness, death and the curse of the Law.
1. Freedom From Sin
“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.” –Ephesians 1:7-8
Jesus bought every human being with His own blood—freeing them from sin—but it is up to you to receive Him and invite Him into your life. Second Corinthians 5:19 says, “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation” (NKJV). God reconciled the world to Himself through Jesus. God canceled the world’s trespasses. Kenneth E. Hagin, in his book The Art of Prayer says, “People will go to hell, and when they get there, they’ll find out we hadn’t told them the truth. We hadn’t told them everything was canceled out. The sins of the unsaved have been canceled out by Jesus. That’s how God is kind to the unthankful and the evil. And He has given to us that message, that word of reconciliation.” You have been set free from sin and can share this fact with others, inviting them to receive Jesus into their hearts.
2. Freedom From Sickness
“He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!” –Psalm 103:3-5
Notice in Psalm 103 that the same God who forgives your sins also heals all your sicknesses and diseases. As a child of God, you are redeemed from sickness and disease, from aches and pains, from the common cold and the flu, from seasonal allergies and viral infections. You were made the healed the day you were born again (1 Peter 2:24). You were designed by God to walk in divine health. But it is up to you to receive hat Jesus urchased for ou and walk in your redemption by faith. Because of Jesus, you have freedom from sickness and disease, and have the wonderful opportunity to walk in divine health, giving glory to God!
3. Freedom From Death
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” –John 3:16-17
Your decision to be born again and make Jesus the Lord of your life opened the door for you to partake of all that Jesus purchased for you, including freedom from death. Without that decision, you would still be on your way to hell. That’s why it is the single most important decision you could ever make—and indecision is a defeat you never want to experience. You have been redeemed from eternal damnation and redeemed to eternal life. Instead of spending eternity in hell—designed for the devil and his cohorts—you can spend eternity in heaven with God and Jesus and all those who have chosen to believe and receive Jesus’ sacrifice.
When you make Jesus the Lord of your life, you are welcomed into the family of God. Galatians 4:5 says, “God sent him [Jesus] to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.” Before receiving Jesus, you were an orphan (John 14:18). After receiving Jesus, you were made a child of God (1 John 3:1). You were translated into the Kingdom of God's Son (Colossians 1:13). You were made a joint heir with Jesus (Romans 8:17). You were given a place to belong for all eternity. You were redeemed to be a son or daughter of the King (2 Corinthians 6:18). And being set free from death, you can enjoy eternal life with God.
4. Freedom From the Curse of the Law
“But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.” –Galatians 3:13-14
Jesus redeemed you from the curse of the Law which includes anything bad you can think of—death, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, depression, addiction and anything else that’s bad. Gloria Copeland says, “If it’s bad, it’s under the curse. It doesn’t belong to you.”
Jesus paid the price for your release from sin and its punishment. His death was in exchange for your life—and redemption is only possible “through His blood,” that is, by His death and resurrection. 1 Timothy 2:6 says, “He [Jesus] gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.” Jesus took care of the freedom you need in every area of your life.
How do you access that freedom? You access your redemption benefits—freedom from sin, sickness, death and the curse of the Law—by faith in Jesus. That's it. You trust in the Lord Jesus and His finished work. Believe and receive! Don't doubt and do without!
