What was the Apostle Paul talking about in Galatians 3:13 when he said "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law?" Was he calling God's Law "cursed"? God forbid! Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.Paul was saying that there is a curse that comes upon us when we break the law, and that curse has been broken off of us so that we are now able to obey the law by the Holy Spirit's power in us! And we also have the blood atonement for those times when we slip and break the law. Messiah redeemed us from the curse that comes to us when we break his laws---his instructions! (See Deuteronomy 28). In Deuteronomy 28, we are given clear instructions by our Heavenly Father, to obey his commandments and live under his blessings, or to disobey his commandments and live under a curse. In Deuteronomy 28:1-14 the blessings that come from obeying all his commandments are listed. But then in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 lists all the curses that come from disobeying his commandments (Law).
Many people in today's Christian Church read Paul's Letters out of context with a Greco-Roman mindset and they twist Paul's words to their own destruction:
2nd Peter 3:15-17 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. |
