How Jesus Christ Redeemed Humanity From Curse Of The Law
The redemption of humanity from the curse of the law by Jesus Christ is one of the most powerful truths in Christianity. Let’s break it down biblically and clearly:
1. Understanding “The Curse of the Law”: The Law refers to the commandments and ordinances given by God through Moses (Exodus–Deuteronomy). While the law itself was holy and good (Romans 7:12), it revealed sin and condemned anyone who broke it.
Galatians 3:10 (KJV): “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.”
The curse of the law includes:
Spiritual death and separation from God (Romans 6:23)
Physical suffering and disease (Deuteronomy 28:15–68)
Poverty, defeat, and bondage to sin
In short, humanity was under judgment because no one could perfectly keep God’s law.
2. Jesus Became a Curse for Us
Christ took our place and bore the penalty we deserved.
Galatians 3:13–14 (KJV)
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
By being crucified (hanging on a tree), Jesus fulfilled this scripture (Deuteronomy 21:23).
He took upon Himself the full weight of sin, guilt, sickness, and death — so that we could be set free.
3. The Exchange on the Cross
On the cross, there was a divine exchange:
What We Deserved What Jesus Gave Us
Curse Blessing
Sin Righteousness
Death Eternal Life
Sickness Healing
Poverty Abundance
Separation from God Reconciliation with God
2 Corinthians 5:21
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
4. Redemption Through His Blood
Redemption means to buy back or set free by paying a price.
The price was the blood of Jesus.
Ephesians 1:7
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” Through His death, Jesus satisfied divine justice and broke the power of sin and the curse forever.
5. Freedom in Christ
Now, those who believe in Jesus are no longer under the curse.
Romans 8:1–2
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus… For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Believers live under grace, empowered by the Holy Spirit — not under the law’s curse or condemnation.
6. The Blessing Restored. Because of Jesus: We are justified by faith (Romans 5:1). We have peace with God (Romans 5:1). We inherit the blessing of Abraham — righteousness, favor, and divine provision (Galatians 3:14)
In Summary
Jesus redeemed humanity from the curse of the law by:
1. Living a sinless life and fulfilling the law. 2. Taking our curse upon Himself on the cross. 3. Shedding His blood as the price of our redemption. 4. Rising again to give us new life and freedom
John 8:36: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
