God Is Not the Author of the Curse
By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. —Romans 5:12
How did sin, sickness, and the curse enter into the world? Did God desire that man be under the curse? If so, He could have said, “Let Us make man cursed, sick, and diseased.” Did God punish man with the curse? No! Sin and the curse entered the world by one man’s sin—Adam’s! God told Adam how to stay away from sin and the curse: “Do not eat . . .” By one man, sin entered into the world, and that sin gave way to the curse. That sin and the curse passed upon all men because of Adam’s sin. How did depression, sickness, sin, and poverty get into the world? By one man who sinned! People have been wrongly taught that God will curse them or put sickness on them, but those are not God’s choices for man. The curse is here, in this world, and you will choose to live under it or choose to be free of it! Christ came not to curse you, but to redeem you from the curse, to offer you a protection plan so you could live in the blessing (Galatians 3:13–14). What kind of God would desire to curse you and redeem you at the same time? Spiritual death came because of Adam, and it now rules and reigns over mankind (Romans 5:17). God created man to rule and reign, not to be ruled and reigned over! The curse did not enter because of God’s anger toward man, but because of man’s disobedience toward God. But in love, God gave us Christ, who has redeemed us from the curse!
