Grace for your spirit
Christ 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"-- Galatians 3:13
The Apostle Paul constantly was confronted by many Christians who were confused. Their devotion to Christ was being drained off by those who wanted them to go back to the Old Law. Paul illustrated their mistake in many ways. Here he calls the Law of Moses a curse. How could the Ten Commandments be a curse? It was a curse because no matter how hard anyone tried, they could not keep it, and no one could be saved by the effort of trying. The Law was designed to bring Christ into the world so He could bear that curse for us. He bore the curse when He bore our sins on the cross. It is dead, He is alive. It is an insult to want to share the cross and the Law. Let’s die to the Law permanently and live for Jesus.
Philippians 4:23
