The Necessity for Christ's Bearing Our Curse
Galatians 3:13
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written…


The sentence or curse of the law must not fall to the ground, for then the aid of God's governing the world could not be secured; His law would seem to be given in jest, and His threatenings would be interpreted to be a vain scarecrow, and the sin of the creature would not seem so odious a thing, if the law might be broken and there were no more ado about it; therefore Christ must come to bear this curse.

(T. Manton.)
