God shows mercy to those who love him
This is the last day that I will looking at generational curses. Obviously there is more that could be said, but you need to study the scriptures yourself to see if these things be so. (Acts 17:11) Also if anyone has any questions or comments I would welcome them. Exodus 20:6 states: And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Obviously, before we turned to Christ, we were under sin, controlled by the spirit that now works in the hearts of those who are the children of disobedience. (Eph 2) During this time we were certainly under the judgement of God. The scriptures that we have been considering regarding generational curses would have been applicable to us. 1Pet 1:18 says: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers. Nevertheless once we trusted in Christ we started to love God. We started to honour His word. At this point he showed us His mercy. We were vessels of his wonderful grace. Therefore in closing for today consider that the work on the cross is sufficient for our every need and problem. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus on the cross: It is finished! (John 19:30) Again - the verb finished is in the perfect tense. In other words it never needs to be repeated. It has been completed and His work will continue into eternity forever! Praise His name.
