All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” ~ Galatians 3:10 (NT) “Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!” ~ Deuteronomy 27:26 (OT) ‘Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”‘ ~ Galatians 3:13 (NT) “You must not leave his body on the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.” ~ Deuteronomy 21:23 (OT) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ~ John 11:25-26 (NT)

Keep in mind that the new testament (NT) books are not the law. The old testament (OT) books are where the laws are. So, what we have here is the fact that the law was a curse to all those who don’t follow them all. Also, anyone who dies on a tree is under a curse. Jesus died on the cross (a tree) and became the curse that those who believe will not die but live forever (understand why Jesus cursed the fig tree and why he warned Israel to bear fruit. understand those things and you will understand the curse). He used the over zealous Pharisees of the time to make that curse happen, too. The government had to hate him so much that they wanted to make Him a cursed man. They never understood the curse that He placed on them though, just as He told them they wouldn’t.

So, if you don’t follow the laws of the ancient Israelites (and who does?), then you can still obtain eternal life by accepting the curse of Christ, which is believing that He died as a perfect man, and therefore, His curse is righteous, so God will surely carry it out for Jesus.
