"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.')," that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith." (Galatians 3:13, 14)
As I was walking around the neighborhood last evening and listening to the Deuteronomy passage, our text came to mind. It "surfaced" during the Charismatic Renewal in the 1960's. But last evening, what a great joy came to me to realize that of all the curses I would be under, because of all my sin, rebellion, etc., "Christ has redeemed [me] from the curse of the law, having become a curse for [me]." No more, "curse of the law."
Caution: Romans 6 tells us, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
Father, in Jesus' Name, help me today to come into a greater living of, "Christ has redeemed us from he curse of the law." Thank You. Amen.
