“Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:16-17
The Law of God is perfect, but the penalty for breaking any part of God’s law, however insignificant in our own eyes, is death – eternal separation from God. The curse of the Law is death and there is nothing that we can do to lift that curse or to pay the redemption price for our sin. The penalty for our sin is death, and this is a death-penalty that we justly deserve.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory and perfection of God… and the wages of sin is death. But God, in His grace, ordained that there is one way that the price of breaking God’s perfect Law can be paid. There is one way that the curse of the Law can be lifted and that is through the sacrifice of His dearly beloved Son, in our place.
Trusting in the death, burial, and Resurrection of the only begotten and sinless Son of God, is the one and only price that is acceptable by a righteous God as payment for our sins. And all who have trusted in Christ as Saviour can say with certainty and eternally, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.'” Galatians 3:13
LET’S PRAY.
Heavenly Father, thank You that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the Law by hanging on the Tree at Calvary. My Saviour Who knew no sin, became sin for me so that in Him I might be made righteous. I may never understand the enormity of what Jesus did, but I will give Him all the honour and glory, might and majesty, power and praise, both now and in the eternal ages to come in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen 😇.
