Free from the Curse

Passage: Galatians 3:10-14
Service Type:

God can set you free from the Curse of the Law.Free from the Curse
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser
Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town. 3rd March 2024

Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT CONTINUE IN ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO DO THEM.”
Gal 3:11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
Gal 3:12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “THE MAN WHO DOES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM.”
Gal 3:13 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”),
Gal 3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Links in the chain to break you free from the curse of the Law.
1. Mission Impossible. You can’t keep all the laws. A saved Jewish friend once told me they had to keep 713 daily laws. You are bound to miss one! They are so free in Christ yet have a wonderful hunger for righteousness in the faith. They have found a new way of living in Jesus Christ and His church.
2. Justification. Justification is only by faith. This is the reformation of Jesus Christ for His Church in His marvellous New Covenant that He paid for with His blood. Rom. 3:23,24
3. Exchange. Exchange your curse at the Cross of Jesus Christ and gain redemption.
2Co 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
4. Blessing. Receive the blessing and promises of Abraham the same way he did, through faith. We also receive the promise of the Spirit by faith. The Spirit helps us and leads us into all truth. He writes God’s laws in our hearts and minds, so that we have the mind of Christ and a heart after God, without forcing the issue. We hunger and thirst for righteousness, versus trying to earn salvation and play at being holy like the scribes and the pharisees.
Heb 10:16 “THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS, AND IN THEIR MINDS I WILL WRITE THEM,”
Heb 10:17 then He adds, “THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”
Heb 10:18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Pray this prayer:
Lord, I repent of dead works and receive by grace through faith, the redemption that you bought for me with Your blood on the cross to free me from the curse of the Law. Thank you that You write you laws on my heart and mind and empower me by the Holy Spirit to live a holy and righteous life that brings glory to Our Father God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
