~ Curse vs. Blessing ~
introduction: The Apostle Paul wrote the Book of Galatians
to the believers of this local church at a time when they were beginning to
reject the gospel of grace and were instead moving backward toward obedience of
the Mosaic Law as the means of winning favor with God. Paul’s purpose in
writing was to point out the dramatic differences between Law and Grace.
Curse vs. Blessing
LAW ~ “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having
become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a
tree’ [Deuteronomy 21:23]” (Galatians 3:13).
GRACE
~ “That
the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we
might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:14).
summary: The bottom line of understanding Law vs.
Grace is a theology of “DO or DONE!” Are you still trying to DO things to earn
your salvation, or do you understand that it was DONE for you on the Cross of
Calvary by Jesus Christ—you only need to accept/trust His provision on your
behalf?
“Being justified freely
by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24). “Not by works of righteousness which we do, but according to His
mercy He saves us” (Titus 3:5a).
