And that's why Paul boldly declares here that as many as are of the works of the law that go and try to put themselves back under the law, instead of blessing, Paul says plainly, they are living under a curse. And sadly, many, like in Paul's day, believe that living under the law brings blessing. You'll hear preachers talking about that. If you want a blessing today, then do this or do that. And they could read in many of the Old Testament passages because that's what the scriptures were at that time. And I've often said, there's enough in the scriptures to be a snare to anybody that's not looking to Christ or has not been given eyes to see Christ. They'll go back and read, for example, Psalm 119 and verse one, where it says, blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the law of the Lord. And I've already mentioned Psalm one, blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. People read that and think, ah, that's what I've got to do. but with eyes to see Christ that these Psalms and any other portion of the law Christ came to fulfill. So when it says blessed are the undefiled in the way, well the way is Christ and the only way to be undefiled is to live under his righteousness. and to walk in the law of the Lord is to walk in that law that Christ came and obeyed and fulfilled. And thereby, we are blessed in Him.
