“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
There is nothing – absolutely NOTHING that we can do to redeem ourselves from the penalty of sin and be set free from the curse of the Law. And there is nothing that we can add to the price that Jesus paid on the Cross. Only God, Himself, in the Person of Jesus Christ is able to redeem us (by faith) and He did this by dying on a tree and becoming a curse in our place. And the price that Christ paid is sufficient.
Christ redeemed us by dying in our place and He had the undiluted wrath of God poured out upon Him in our stead. God’s wrath was poured out upon Jesus to pay the price for your sins and for mine instead of God’s wrath being poured out on you and on me. Christ bore the full weight of the curse of the Law for you and did it for me too – and without the death of the holy Son of God there could be no redemption from the terrible curse of the Law. The curse of Law is death and we are incapable of escaping its curse – and death is the birthright of every man and every woman.
But Christ paid the price in our stead.
It was Moses who wrote that the penalty for condemned criminals was to hang upon a tree as a sign that they were cursed of God… and by being lifted up and hung on Calvary’s Tree, Christ was made a curse for us – redeeming us from the curse of the Law. No wonder the apostle Paul was able to write: “We preach Christ crucified – to the Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER of God and Christ the WISDOM of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:23-24
