We are no longer under the curse of the law. Jesus has set us free. The works He did on earth before his death, burial and resurrection are delineated in the Luke 4:18-19.
“ The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
In Galatians 3:13-14, Paul tells us very clearly Jesus' work on the cross.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
This blessing of Abraham is that we now enter the family of God, the body of Christ - the church. We receive the Holy Spirit Who dwells in our mortal bodies, and strengthens us in our inner man.
We receive all the blessings as outlined in Deuteronomy, and none of the curses, as we seek to please Him in this new life we have in Him!
