YOUR DEBTS HAVE BEEN FULLY PAID
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
. Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
The laws of Moses were given as a code of conduct to the Jews ,
unfortunately , there are some religious folks engrossed in the attempt to achieve their righteousness by thinking, they could fulfill the law , but no
one could keep it. The law was not designed to be kept but to make us accountable to God , humble us and show us the need for a redeemer or saviour . If you failed in one , you failed all. James 2:10-11
10 NIV"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it".
It was absolutely impossible for anyone to be right standing before God by observing the laws of Moses. Gal 2:16KJV "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

Almighty God and judge of the universe Himself became
flesh( 1Tim3:16) in order that we may stand justified before him. He did what no
sinful flesh had ever done. He fulfilled the demands of the
law thereby giving humanity access to eternal life in His kingdom.. However, before we could partake of it, we
still had a debt that had to be paid.
This is similar to a man receiving the death penalty from a judge for manslaughter and then a billionaire leaves his whole estate to him. It would do the condemned man no good. But if that same billionaire could somehow take the place of the guilty person and die for him then the criminal could go free and enjoy his new wealth. That's what Jesus did for us. He took our sins and gave us His righteousness and blessings.
Jesus did much more than just obtain eternal life for us, He also paid all the wages of our sins (Rom. 6:23). God literally placed the condemnation or judgment that was against us upon His own Son. Jesus' perfect flesh was condemned so our defiled flesh could go free. What an awesome exchange !

Since Jesus bore our sentence (condemnation), we
don't have to bear it. The debt has already been paid.All that is need
is that we receive the free gift of salvation by receiving Jesus Christ
as saviour . By the sacrifice of Christ on the cross friend, you are
free from , ancestral, territorial curses and Satan has no legal right
to afflict
you with sickness, depression , poverty,therefore as you make Jesus Christ your lord and saviour receive
grace to walk in the liberty of the Spirit in Jesus name.
