Galatians 3:13 Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);

You have been made free of "the curse", but what is "the curse"? Deuteronomy 28: 15-68 tells us what "the curse" is. It is too long for me to quote all of it so I encourage you to look it up and read it for yourself. Instead of quoting the whole thing, let me give you some snippets of what is included under the curse.

One more thing before we look at these verses. We have been freed from the curse. We are not under the curse because Jesus has redeemed us from the curse. You have been redeemed from sin. Therefore, you will no longer suffer the curse. This is part of what the blood of Jesus has purchased for you.

Deuteronomy 28 New International Version (NIV)
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

Now that we are free from the curse we are be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

29 At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

Because we are free from the curse we see clearly even in the darkest night; we are be successful in everything we do; day after day we have liberty and protection, God himself rescues us.

30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and ravish her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.

We are married to the person we are in love with, and our family enjoys the protection of God. We live in beautiful homes and enjoy the fruit of our labors.

32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand.

Our sons and daughters fulfill the call of God on their lives and our children are a delight to our eyes.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it.

We reap abundantly every time we sow any kind of seed. We enjoy bountiful harvests that overflow with more than enough. We receive raises and promotions.

Speak the Word: Father, I am free from the curse of the law. I am blessed all of the time.
