GAL. III.XIII. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us.
YOU have seen the general nature, necessity, and parts of Christs Priesthood; viz. his Oblation, and Intercession. Before you part from this office, it's necessary you should further take into consideration the principal fruits, and effects of his Priesthood. Which are, complete Satisfaction; and the Acquisition or purchase of an eternal inheritance. The former, viz. the satisfaction made by his blood, is manifestly contained in this excellent Scripture before us; wherein the Apostle (having shown before, at the tenth verse, that whosoever continues not in all things, written in the Law to do them, is cursed.) declares how notwithstanding the threats of the Law, a Believer comes to be freed from the curse of it. Namely, by Christs bearing that curse for him, and so satisfying Gods justice, and discharging the Believer from all obligations to punishment.
