Yes, Christ became the curse under God. He took the place of the rebel, sinful son of Israel so God could put the curse of the Law on Him. He fulfilled all the curse of the Law, enabling God to forgive, reconcile, and pardon everyone who believes.

Les explains that it was not just small or trivial sins, but the worst and most vile sins imaginable that were laid on Christ. He took the place of the rebel, sinful son of Israel so that God could put the curse of the Law on Him. Les acknowledges this is strong language and not what most people like to hear, but he insists this is what the Word declares: Christ became the curse under God. He fulfilled all the curse of the Law so that God could now say He has forgiven, reconciled, and pardoned every human being who has ever lived, and it is available to anyone who will simply believe. Les also points back to Romans chapter 3, where Paul's plan of salvation begins, emphasizing that justification does not come by keeping the Law.
