How did Christ redeem us from the curse of the Law?

Les teaches that religion is man attempting to merit favor with God, while Christianity is God reaching down in grace and saving sinful men. Religion always demands works, telling people what they have to do and what they cannot do, but true Gospel Christianity says you do nothing because God has done it all. He then points to the verse, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law.” The background is Deuteronomy: if you do not keep every jot and tittle of the Law to the last iota of perfection, then you are under the curse. Cursed is every man that does not do them, if you are going to do the Law. So Christ hath redeemed us. He has taken the curse of the Law upon Himself, being made a curse for us, for it is written, “cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”
