Galatians 3:13-14 says,

  1. Messiah has redeemed us from the curse written in the Torah, having become cursed on our behalf (for it is written, 'cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'),
  2. so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Messiah Yeshua, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Verse 13 is the subject of Redeemed from the Torah?. Here, let's focus on the often-overlooked but immensely significant verse 14. The first part of verse 14 tells us that Yeshua's work of redemption caused the blessing of Avraham to come upon the Gentiles. Almost every believer understands that God's plan of salvation by faith in Yeshua also includes Gentiles (non-Jews). But the 2nd part of verse 14 says this has happened in order that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Who is "we" in verse 14? Since Paul was Jewish, at the very least he means "in order that we Jews who believe" might receive the promise of the Spirit. But more likely, "we" means the whole body of Messiah, from both Jews and Gentiles. Either way, do you see the significance of that? The Gentiles' inclusion in the body of Messiah is what's necessary; it's the required precursor that enables believers to receive the Promise of the Spirit!
