Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law…That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13–14).
Redemption from the curse of the law, as read in our opening scripture, was for the Jews and not the Gentiles. Moreover, it wasn’t the end goal of salvation but the doorway into something greater: the blessing of Abraham and the promise of the Spirit through faith. The Law could not make man righteous or give him eternal life. Only faith in Christ could accomplish that.
Paul reveals that Christ became a curse on the Cross so that the Jew might be free from the penalties of the Law. But that wasn’t all. He did it so that the blessing of Abraham—justification, favour, inheritance, and the Spirit—might come to the Gentiles. The Law worked on conditions; it was based on obedience.
For example, in Exodus 19:5, God said, “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people….” But the blessing of Abraham operates by faith. It is not about qualifying through works but about receiving through faith: just as the Bible says that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness (Romans 4:3).
Now, we who believe in Jesus are made righteous by faith and are partakers of the same blessing. That blessing includes the Spirit of God dwelling in us—guiding, empowering, and transforming us from within. This is why faith is so crucial in the New Testament. Romans 1:17 says, “…as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him….”
Without faith, you can’t receive the blessing or enjoy the inheritance. Your faith is the key to everything God has made available to you in Christ. So, live by faith! Talk faith, and respond in faith. Faith is the currency of our heavenly Kingdom. It’s our lifestyle: “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith….” (Galatians 3:11-12). The blessings of the New Testament are yours by faith.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. I walk in the blessing of Abraham, full of faith and led by the Spirit. My life is the expression of your grace, favour and righteousness. I enjoy all that Christ has made available to me. I flourish in every area of my life and fulfil your divine purpose with joy and power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Galatians 2:16 KJV
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:9-14 KJV
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Romans 4:13-16 KJV
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression. 16 Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all
