What Does Galatians 3:14 Mean?
Paul names the purpose of Christ's redeeming work. He bore the curse so that the blessing promised to Abraham could flow out to the nations in Christ Jesus. The barrier removed, the blessing pours through to all peoples.
And the blessing includes the gift of the Spirit, received through faith. What was promised to Abraham reaches its fullness here: the nations blessed, the Spirit given, all through trusting in Christ. The cross opens the door, and faith walks through it into the inheritance God prepared.
