AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:13 Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS [crucified] ON A TREE (cross)"-- [Deut 21:23] |
Bible Question:
What exactly is the curse of the law? I believe that it includes, but is not necessarily limited to, those things listed in Deut 28:15-68. Thanks Meredith |
Bible Answer: The Law itself is good. It is the violation of the Law, due to our sinful and rebellious nature, that brings the curse. Deuteronomy 28 speaks of the consequences of the violation of the Law for the covenant people of Israel. And Hell is the obvious eternal result for failing to meet the standards of the Law (hence the need for Jesus to meet them for our sinful, rebellious selves). Paul also quotes Deuteronomy 27:26 to illustrate how this curse is brought about: 'For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM' --Galatians 3:10 --Joe! |
