The document discusses Paul's letter to the Galatians chapters 3:10-14. It summarizes that the law places all people under a curse for not keeping all its commands perfectly. However, no one is justified by the law but only through faith, as demonstrated by Abraham's righteousness coming from faith, not works. Christ redeems people from the law's curse by becoming cursed on the cross, so that Gentiles can receive the Spirit's blessing originally promised to Abraham, through faith rather than the law.

curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who

the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no

Are you so foolish? Having begun
by the Spirit, are you now being
perfected by the flesh?

just as Abraham “believed God,
and it was counted to him as
righteousness”?
Galatians 3:6 7

8. Follow the Chain
Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of
Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would
justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel
beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the
nations be blessed.”

We are redeemed

1 “And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I
have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the
LORD your God has driven you, 2 and return to the LORD your God, you and
your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your
heart and with all your soul, 3 then the LORD your God will restore your
fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the
peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in
the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you,
and from there he will take you. 5 And the LORD your God will bring you into
the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make
you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the LORD your
God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will
love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may
live.
