Galatians 3:10 ” All who rely on observing the Law are under a curse, for it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

I had the “Rules of the Road” booklet for the State of Illinois out the other day when I thought to myself, “My goodness! Driving a car sure has lots of rules and regulations tied to it!”  The same goes for the Old Testament Laws spoken of here…all 613 of them.  In this verse Paul was quoting Deuteronomy 27:26 and basically telling us that it’s impossible to keep all 613 Laws perfectly.    So what are we to do?  We’re doomed before we even try.  Enter Jesus Christ,  who came to redeem us from the judgement and punishment of this curse, for it tells us in Galatians 3:13 “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us…”    In other words, our inability to keep all the Laws was overcome by the blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
