The Law Brings A Curse

Gal. 3:10-14

When the law was given, it came in covenant form – covenant between man and God. Every covenant has its blessings and curses – curse when the terms of the covenant are not adhered to. Deuteronomy 28 gives a detailed list of blessings for obeying the commandments and curses for breaking them. The problem was that man could not keep all the laws, hence man lived from generation to generation operating under curse. Man’s situation grew from bad to worse as he sinks deeper into sin under the curse. Most of the problems that unbelievers struggle with today are as a result of the curse for breaking the laws of God. Unfortunately, when God provided a new way of obtaining righteousness through the blood of Jesus, many still do not take the advantage to be freed from the curse.

Point of Emphasis:   Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.

Prayer Point:            I bless Your holy name Jesus Christ for redeeming me from the curse of the law.
