Galatians 3:14

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

¹³ The Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written, "A curse on everyone who is hung on a tree!" ¹⁴ This happened in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the gentiles through the Messiah Jesus, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. ¹⁵ Brothers, let me use an example from everyday life. Once an agreement has been ratified, no one can cancel it or add conditions to it.
