turies under the Law. The Jews today who profess
to keep the Mosaic Law and who refuse to
exercise faith in Christ Jesus as the promised
Seed are keeping themselves under the curse of
the Law : "For all those who depend upon works
of law are under a curse, for it is written : 'Accursed
is every one that does not continue in all
the things written in the scroll of the Law in order
to do them .' Moreover, that by law no one is declared
righteous with God is evident, because the
righteous one will live by reason of faith' . Now
the Law does not adhere to faith, but he that
does them shall live by them' . Christ by purchase
released us from the curse of the Law by becoming
a curse instead of us, because it is written
Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake .'
The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham
might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for
the nations, that we might receive the promised
spirit through our faith ."-Galatians 3 :10-14, NW.

All hope of proving worthy of the right to
everlasting life by keeping the Law covenant has
vanished for the natural Israelites as well as for
all proselytes to the Mosaic Law covenant. "For
there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth
good, and sinneth not ." Ecclesiastes 7 :20 God
foresaw this, and so he promised to provide the
perfect Seed of deliverance . The hope of all mankind,
Jew and Gentile alike, rests in the Seed of
God's woman and in God's kingdom by him .

rest?
