Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse...
The curse-
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse...
Pro 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse...
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Rom 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned
Life without being cursed, we don't know what that is like at all whatsoever. Only Adam and Eve would have that memory and they are long dead. We've lived under the curse brought on by sinning- disobeying God- and we can only imagine what life would be like without sin. Jesus lived without sinning surrounded and fully tempted to sin by all the depravity Satan could throw His way. Jesus overcame by the will of God and died to offer us His grace so that we too might one day know what it will be like to live without sin, without the curse hanging over us.
What hope there is to be found in that truth, the truth of God's pure love knowing that one day there will be no more curse.
May God bless and keep us always in Him by His unending all loving mercy in Christ our Savior and Lord forever.
Amen.
