In Galatians 3, we read that “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us … so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith” (vv. 13–14). Wow. I am sure I have read that often enough, but until I started paying attention to the Holy Spirit, I am not sure that it really struck me. Christ redeemed us from the curse we were under so that we could receive the promise of the Holy Spirit.
