Bible Verses About Breaking Generational Curses

Some fear that patterns of sin or hardship are passed down as inescapable curses, but in Christ there is real freedom and a new identity. Scripture declares: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" (Galatians 3:13). The Word affirms: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17). As it is written: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." (Ezekiel 18:20). Stand in the finished work of Christ, renounce old patterns, and walk in the new creation you have become.
