Drawing deeply from scriptural foundations, he explains how believers are eternally redeemed from the curse of the law through Christ, exploring both Old and New Testament passages to clarify what the curse is, why it exists, and why it can never be considered God's will for His children.

3. The Blessing and the Curse in Covenant
- Focus shifts to exploring the other side of covenant: not only the blessings, but also the curse—because “you want to know about the curse because you've been redeemed from it.”
- Cites Galatians 3:13 as a central New Testament promise:
- [07:31] Quote:
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law… He's not going to do it soon... He's already done did it. Right?"
- [07:31] Quote:
- Points out many believers don’t actually know what the curse of the law is, and that ignorance leaves them susceptible to the enemy's deception.
4. What is the Curse of the Law?
- Explains that "curse" refers to spiritual forces working against someone—stealing, killing, and destroying.
- [10:41] Quote:
"If it's a curse, never could it be God's perfect will for you or me or anybody else. ... If you'll listen to me, blessings... if you won't listen, the curse will come." - Makes clear: nothing God ever calls a curse in the Bible should be seen as a blessing in disguise.
5. Scriptural Illustrations of the Curse
- Breaks down Deuteronomy 28 as a “clearest place” to see the specifics of the curse and the blessing.
- The language is parallel—where God once says, “Blessed in the city,” under the curse it becomes, “Cursed in the city.”
- [12:50] Brings in Isaiah 24:4-6, showing the earth itself is defiled by sin and thus under the curse:
"Therefore has the curse devoured the earth…" - Cites Romans 8’s “groaning” of creation, showing that everything wrong (natural disasters, disease, etc.) is evidence of the curse.
6. Redemptive Reality Through Christ
- Although the earth is full of curse and the ungodly lie under it, believers are not under the curse but enjoy the blessing through faith in Jesus (Galatians 3).
- [19:19-19:20] Exchange:
- Listener: “Hallelujah.”
- Keith: "But the blessing has come on us through our faith in Jesus. But this curse is in the earth."
7. The Purpose and Persistence of the Curse
- Zechariah 5 is referenced showing the curse as something “over the face of the whole earth.”
- Stresses that God, as a righteous judge, does not treat the rebellious and the obedient the same—judgment differentiates.
- "There is good and evil, there is right and wrong, and there is a God. And there is judgment. And the wages of sin is death…" [21:53]
8. The Good News: Redemption Now
- Even in a dark, curse-filled world, believers walk in the Lord’s blessing, surrounded, kept and provided for.
- [24:49] Quote:
"We walk in the blessing of the Lord, surrounding us, keeping us, protecting us, providing for us, blessing us." - Reminds the class, "I'm redeemed. Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law."
9. The Practical Outworking: Identifying and Resisting the Curse
- Walks through Deuteronomy 28, highlighting every expression of the curse (poverty, sickness, defeat) has never been and can never be God’s will for His children.
- Knowing what the curse is allows believers to resist it, reminding the enemy, "No, you don't know who you're messing with here. …Christ did it. But I am redeemed from the curse of the law." [27:08]
