“An undeserved curse will be powerless to harm you. It may flutter over you like a bird, but it will find no place to land.” Proverbs 26:2 TPT. https://www.bible.com/1849/pro.26.2.tpt

This verse only speaks of undeserved curses. It doesn’t explain what to do about “deserved”curses. In truth, it makes no difference to the believer. If we are in the light, as He is in the light, then there are no deserved or undeserved curses standing against us any more.

Jesus became the curse for us and nailed all those curses to the tree. So they fall under “it is finished”, and don’t need our works to be annulled.

Being grafted into the living vine supplied by His life force we are above any and all curses. Regardless of the generational roots or ties to others all has been plunged beneath the crimson flow of His blood that ran down the cross to the mercy seat.

The Gospel is a faith issue. Will you stand on the truth that Jesus finished the work of Salvation before the beginning of time and step into His marvelous grace? Or will you continue to strive to “work out your salvation” on the treadmill of works. The choice is yours, striving to qualify for some religious goal to prove yourself worthy of His love or falling into His open arms of grace resting on the finished work of Jesus.

If we have to finish the work of our salvation by completing some list of righteous acts then where is the good news in that. It is merely following another religious system trying to claw it’s way into heaven or nirvana by our effort. The Grace of the Gospel is truly not just good news but the best news ever. It defies all logic and human understanding because it is fueled by God’s impossible love for us. The fact that it is humanly “too good to be true” is the whole point, it has nothing to do with human efforts and everything to do with our transcendent God. His sovereign interruption of time to release us from the tyranny of Religion settled the matter. It is by grace we are saved not of works.
