 56. 

Deuteronomy 21:23 supports the association of Christ’s death with the curse of the law.

The best the law could ever do was to act as a restraint on people.  It did not draw people closer to God; it merely fenced them in to keep them from drifting farther away.

The Law was needed to show men how flawed and imperfect they were and to show them how badly they needed salvation.
 

 60. 

Paul’s first argument, showing the superiority of faith over law, is “Law or Faith: which promises a curse?”

In Greek, there were two kinds of promises: one which is obtained by negotiation, where each party gives and takes, and one which is a gift graciously bestowed, without receiving equal value in return.

The promised Spirit is given to sons of Abraham on the basis of faith, not law.
 

 65.

 66. 

Since women are saved in Christ on the same terms as men, this cancels out separate and distinct       roles of men and women in the home or church.
 

 67. 

While the law had helped to guide, guard, and discipline God’s children, its main purpose was to bring them to the point of real education—Christ.
