"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints of light."
Colossians 1:12
Jesus went to the cross and shed His blood for us.
Through His death, burial and resurrection, He forgave our sins, redeemed us, delivered us from the power of darkness and helped us to be partakers of His inheritance.
But most Christians have a very low opinion of what redemption really is.
They say that Jesus redeemed them from sin; which is true but there's so much more.
Praise God, we've been redeemed from every curse in the Old Testament and especially sickness and disease.
Healing, back then, was a blessing and still is today.
Jesus didn't do away with any of His blessings; He added to them.
Isaiah 53:5, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we ARE healed."
Jesus not only redeemed us from our sins, but He also redeemed us from torment and oppression so we could have peace.
He redeemed us from sickness so we can have health.
He redeemed us from proverty so we can have wealth.
On and on with all His blessings!
God's report says that we are forgiven, delivered and healed.
Now we can take them by faith.
They belong to us because Jesus already paid the price.
