Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us... (Galatians 3:13).

Some people wrongly assume that every reference to redemption in the New Testament refers to redemption from the curse of the Law. But a careful study of the Scriptures reveals something important: the Law was given to Israel not to the Gentiles. Therefore, only those who were under the Law could be redeemed from its curse. In the above verse, Paul meant “us” Jews, distinguishing them from the Gentiles in verse 14.

That means redemption from the curse of the Law was for the Jews. Understanding this distinction helps you appreciate the precision of God's Word and the broader scope of the redemption that Christ accomplished. The Gentiles were never under the Law. The Bible says they were "...aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12).

Thus, as stated, the curse associated with the Law applied to those who were under its jurisdiction; Christ became a curse to redeem the Jews from its curse. This doesn't diminish the greatness of Christ's redemptive work; rather, it helps us understand it more accurately. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God brought salvation to all mankind. Through His blood, we have remission of sins, justification, reconciliation with God and the gift of eternal life.

The Christian was not redeemed but reborn, and there’s a great difference. We were brought into a newness of life, into glorious liberty to serve the Lord. We were born into His light, glory, and righteousness. We weren’t the ones who were redeemed from the curse of the Law. Hallelujah!
