The Curse, Featuring Quinn Throneness
Good morning, dear brothers and sisters!
I'm so excited about this song. Quinn has such a lovely, girlish voice, and in my opinion her style suits this ballad so well. Even the arrangement, brimming with anticipation and wonder, communicates the mystery of the scripture.
These verses from Galatians are truly full of mystery! They describe exactly why Christ needed to take on the curse of the cross: his submission to such humiliation is a gateway through our own brokenness into the perfect love of God.
11 Now it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law, because the Scriptures say, “Those who are right with God will live by faith.” 12 The law is not based on faith. It says, “A person who obeys these things will live because of them.” 13 Christ took away the curse the law put on us. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. It is written in the Scriptures, “Anyone whose body is displayed on a tree is cursed.” 14 Christ did this so that God’s blessing promised to Abraham might come through Jesus Christ to those who are not Jews. Jesus died so that by our believing we could receive the Spirit that God promised.
I am so thankful that Jesus willingly submitted himself to the curse of crucifixion! I'm so thankful for his message. It's not the law which saves us, it only condemns! No one can keep it, no one can meet it's perfect standard!
Rather, it's through faith in Christ that we are saved.
I hope you enjoy the song!
