Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
Dear friend,
If you have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross, you have been redeemed! You have been ransomed and bought with a price!
I can think of a few metaphors to use in attempt to describe how Christ has redeemed us but not one of them is worthy of comparison with what He actually did! While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! Not only did He pay the ultimate price for our sins but Jesus Christ became a curse for us. It is easy to think that we understand this concept and that it is "basic Christianity" in a sense but friends - the love of Christ is wider, longer, higher and deeper than anything we know. I pray for us, as Paul prayed for the Ephesians, that we would have power to grasp it today!
In Christ,
Mike
