Christ by purchase released us from the curse of
the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because

gets out from under that curse .
11 Jehovah God announced that he would make
the new covenant with a people, a Theocratic
organization . The new covenant is not a personal
covenant that some believing individual makes
with God. No ; but it is an organizational covenant.
It is made through an individual, Christ
Jesus the Mediator, but with an organization of
people delivered by the Most High God . Jesus'

covenant into force, and thus it is God's covenant
made with them over Christ's sacrifice . Jehovah
says to those in the covenant : "Gather yourselves
unto me-ye my men of lovingkindness, who have
solemnised my covenant over sacrifice." Psalm
50 :5, Roth. The old covenant was made with the
rescued nation of Israel, and through Moses its
mediator God said to them : "Now then, if you will
but heed my injunctions, and keep my covenant,
you shall be my very own out of all the peoples
for all the earth is mine , and you shall be a
kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation ." So
the purpose of that Law covenant was to take out
1 1 . With whom is the new covenant made? Through
whom? Over what?
