3 John 2-4

Reasons for Not Enjoying the Redemption Package
- Ignorance is a major reason why Christians may not enjoy the benefits of redemption.
- The Bible contains information about the benefits of redemption, and Christians must search and discover them to enjoy them (John 5:39, Acts 17:11).
- Until Christians discover these benefits, they cannot enjoy them (Isaiah 5:13, Hosea 4:6).
- Another reason is that some Christians are content with their present state, despite its unpleasantness.
- Christians should not be satisfied with their current state if it is not pleasing to God (Luke 16:20-21, Genesis 25:8-10).
Unfolding the Redemption Package
- The redemption package includes deliverance and victory.
- Deliverance includes:
- Being set free from the power of darkness (Galatians 3:13, Romans 8:1).
- Freedom from curses and evil covenants (Galatians 3:13, Romans 8:1).
- Deliverance from the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7).
- Freedom from demonic oppressions (Isaiah 49:24-26, Luke 10:19).
- Deliverance from the wrath of God (Romans 5:9, Ephesians 5:6).
- Victory means triumphing, dominating, and overcoming (1 Corinthians 15).
Memory Verse
- "Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish" (Psalm 49:20, KJV).
