Galatians 3:13 NLT - "But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
To be clear, as the NLT makes it clear, the Law of Moses pronounced the Curse. Or, the Law of Moses is exposing the Curse.
Again, only an extreme few "Christians" of today seem to realize that this is the problem that Christ has come to deal with. Christ came to eradicate the Curse that is associated with our hearts . . . stony hearts.
Ezekiel 11:19 NLT - 19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart,
Ezekiel 36:26 NLT - 26 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
The Ezekiel passages above describe the Purpose and Work of Christ as Paul cleary described it in Colossians 2:9-15. This is the utter core of the Entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
Colossians 2:11, 13 NLT - 11 When you came to Christ, you were "circumcised," but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision--the cutting away of your sinful nature. ... 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
do you only accept nlt or ? What I’m saying is you have to let the context lead to what the being said
Your quoting this
“But Christ has rescued us from the curse
pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
but your skipping over what he says the curse is
“But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for
the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”
This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.””
Galatians 3:10, 12 NLT
I’m not sure many Christians have ever read the book of the law. If they did they would read that condition “ cursed is anyone who does not continue to do everything written in the book of the law “
they would also gather if they read what Moses wrote that the law was a law. It wasn’t a blessing or a curse. It offered israel a blessing if they obeyed all
Of it continually. And it promised then a cirse if they turned away and broke it.
the “ curse of the law “ is what Paul’s saying there “ cursed is anyone who doesn’t continue in all things written in the book of Moses to do them “
the curse comes from mans transgression
thats what brought the law to mankind we became sinners
Since you prefer nlt
“
For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching”
1 Timothy 1:9-10 NLT
It is not actually Gods law it’s a sinners law
“
Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise
to show people their sins.
But
the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised.
God gave his law
through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.”
Galatians 3:19 NLT
The law came because man became sinners. If people do good there’s no need for any law explaining what not to do. Man became like this and needed a law
“The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.”
Genesis 6:5-6 NLT
The law of Moses is not from the start it came because mankind became sinners at heart and needed to be told what sin is and that it is death. Needed to be told what not to do rather than just be taught by the lord we had to first learn what sin is and why we have to repent …..because it is death.
the laws purpose was to show us sin and condemn us for our own sins make all
People without excuse and guilty.
“Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for
its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
For
no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands.
The law simply shows us how sinful we are.”
Romans 3:19-20
I would definitely not like this translation but it says the same things as all the others. The law is meant to
Make everyone stand before God knowing thier sins. At that point the law has done its job
Christ his purpose and the purpose of the gospel he preached is to redeem mankind from the curse of the law that holds mankind guilty and condemns us to death for sin.
That’s why Jesus died and how it works for us he died because we sinned under a law to at demands death for sin. He did that to give us the gospel of the kingdom and promise us eterbal
Life even though the law puts sinners to death , Christ and the New Testament remits thier sin imputed by the law through Christs death , and raises them up to a new way of life in Christ a better way
I would try the niv brother the original niv is a really great translation of you don’t like kjv some of the newer versions over word ot of scripture for
My taste but nevertheless carry the same message
The law is fulfilled in Christ but it’s not what determines eternal Life it never was Moses never promised life after death to Anyone. Jesus promised it to all
Who heard his word and believed and followed him to the kingdom
the transgression of the law brought the curse now we have a blessed covenant and the curse is being fulfilled on the earth until the end
this law given to sinners who refused to repent
“
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but
turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.”
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 KJV
they chose the curse and Sonora fulfilled as a curse now
“The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Isaiah 24:5-6 KJV
when God speaks its certain he gave then a blessing or curse they chose the curse me fulfilled the curse rather than blessing the curse from transgressing the law is leading us here
“Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people:
let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
And
all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
For
my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.”
Isaiah 34:1-5 KJV
sin is the curse , the law defines sin , and holds the sinner guilty , transgressing the law is a curse upon all who transgress once. Once your cursed by the law your cursed d need to have the cirse removed hats where Jesus comes in removing the law because you the sinner are cursed and condemned by it.
the law puts creation to death for sin the gospel gives those who acknowledge and repent new life

that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
