3. A Believer is redeemed à Malediction, from the Curse due to Sin, Gal. 3.13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. Christ said to his Father, as Rebecca to Jacob, Upon me, upon me, be the curse, let the blessing be upon them, but upon me be the curse. And now there's no Condemnation to Believers, Rom. 8.1. An Unbeliever hath a double Condemnation; one from the Law which he hath transgressed, the other from the Gospel, which he hath despised. But Christ hath redeemed a Believer from this Malediction, he hath set him out of the Power of Hell and Damnation.
