From the very beginning God promised to bless the world with salvation through Abraham: “In you all the nations shall be blessed”. Abraham heard the gospel centuries before Moses received the law, but there were teachers in Galatia claiming Mosaic superiority—that the nations really need to follow these laws. Paul has already stated people who mess with the gospel are cursed, but now he elaborates on how the curse falls on the “law-keepers” and astonishingly on Jesus himself. Why? So that we might have the Spirit.
