There is no link with the past.

 

2 Corinthians 5:17  ‘Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.’

 

The Christian gospel is the message of new life. When a man or a woman receives Christ as his or her saviour, every link with the past is removed. There is no link to the sins of the past. There is no link to the generations of the past. The teaching that a believer in Christ can be under some form of generational curse is unscriptural. The believer is free from all condemnation and free from any curse that could be passed down.

 

There is no condemnation because the believer is a new creation.  (Romans 8:1)  The old life is dead and buried with Christ.  This is why a believer is justified by faith in Christ. (Romans 5:1)

 

It is impossible for a believer to be under a generational curse or any other curse because he or she is a new creation in Christ and there is no link with the past.  The life of the believer is united with Christ.  Paul wrote ‘it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me’.  (Galatians 2:20) 

 

It is impossible to curse Christ and it is impossible to curse one who is united with Him. See Testimony - Congo Evangelistic Mission (1933)
