Chapter 1

Poverty: A Blessing Or a Curse?

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.— Galatians 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us!

If we stop reading right there, we'd know Jesus redeemed us. But what did He redeem us from? The rest of the verse says, ". . . 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" (Gal. 3:13).

GALATIANS 3:1414 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

I couldn't do justice to a study on prosperity without explaining the great Bible truth of redemption. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law! The curse of the Law includes spiritual death, sickness, and poverty.
