The New Testament teaches us that evil spells or curses do not have an impact on a believer, as Jesus Christ has taken our sins and curses on the cross and set us free.
Galatians 3:13
“Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.”
1 Peter 2:24
“He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds, you are healed.”
Due to the sinful nature of the human from Adam, we were doomed and deserved to die as a sinner however God out of his love, paved the way through Christ to have communion with us again.
Isaiah 53:4
“Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!”
Isaiah 53:9
‘He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.”
The greatest downfall and resistance to humans is sin.
Hebrew 7:26
“He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honour in heaven.”
The perfect sacrifice by who was “Holy, blameless…” the only one who can intercede for us for our sins “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” ~ Hebrew 4:15 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” ~ 2 Cor 5:21
2 Peter 2:21-22 Knowing Christ and turning back
“21 It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.22 They prove the truth of this proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says, “A washed pig returns to the mud.”
Luke 15:21 Parable of the prodigal son
“21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. 22: “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
The son made the decision and made his way to the father. Decision without action is meaning less. As we can see the father was waiting for the son’s return. Son believed he did not deserve to be welcomed back, similarly, we have not deserved salvation. However, it is only with Jesus’s sacrifice we are able to stand in front of God. The son came in front of the father with a poor outfit. And the first thing after receiving his was to change his appearance, similarly, we need to be transformed our way of life and appearance to be in the presence of God.
John 1:12 Who has the right to be called Children of God
” But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.”
