“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.””
Galatians 3:10
“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”—”
Galatians 3:13
The thing I think I often forget is how literal the Bible is and how literal I should actually take God at His word. Galatians 3 is just a further scope into Isaiah 53:3-5 Hebrews 4:15 and Corinthians 5:17, Jesus took on our “curse” and became a sin offering unto God.
What’s interesting, if your anything like me, is that logically it makes no sense. You’d ask well, how can sin cancel sin? And that’s a logical question. In the natural functioning world you can never cancel a thing by the same thing and expect to get a different result; it will always give you the same result. That applies in math as much as it does in life. In order to get a different result you have to cancel something by something different to get a different result. And that’s what Jesus did, even though He became a sin offering on our behalf unto God, He himself did not Sin. He bore our sins, whilst still being The sinless offering, in other words there was no sin in Him, He simply carried it on our Behalf.
What Jesus did on the cross reflects how we are suppose to live our lives as Christian. Even if we carry sin within us, we also carry the spirit of Christ on the inside, and just like on the cross, to cancel something it has to be opposed with something opposite, and that’s Christ.
He is the perfect sacrifice and also the perfect person to understand our sins, as He endured it all- and overcame.
