… by the crucifixion was cursed by God. Now if you'll turn with me to Galatians chapter 3, we're going to be in Galatians 3 verses 10 through 14. Galatians 3, verses 10 through 14. hear the word of the Lord For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law and do them. Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for the righteous shall live by faith. But the law is not of faith. rather the one who does them shall live by them.

… sent his son to be the propitiation, the satisfaction for our sins. The law says, cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. The gospel says, blessed is the man whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. The law says, the wages of sin is death. The gospel says the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The law demands holiness. The gospel gives holiness. The law says do. The gospel says done. The law makes blessing the result of obedience. The gospel makes obedience the result of blessing. The law puts the day of rest at the end of the week. The gospel puts it at the beginning of the week because we have new life in Christ. The law says, if, the gospel says, therefore. The law says, run, but it gives us no legs.
