“The Pathway to Freedom”

Galatians 3:10-14 (ESV)

CIT:   Because no one can keep God’s law, all who rely on it

are cursed – but Christ took that curse upon Himself, so that

through faith we receive His blessing and the gift of the Holy

Spirit.

 Outline:

1. The Problem of the Curse (10)
2. The Provision of Faith (11-12)
3. The Promise of Redemption (13-14)

Key Take-away: Because Christ bore our curse, we can live by faith and enjoy God’s promised blessing – the Holy Spirit.

10 – For all who rely on 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.”

11 – Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

12 – But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”

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 hanged on a tree” –

14 – so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
