COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
14. The intent of "Christ becoming a curse for us"; "To the end that upon the Gentiles the blessing of Abraham (that is, promised to Abraham, namely, justification by faith) might come in Christ Jesus" (compare Galatians 3:8 ). that we might receive the promise of the Spirit —the promised Spirit ( Joel 2:28 ; Joel 2:29 ; Luke 24:49 ). This clause follows not the clause immediately preceding (for our receiving the Spirit is not the result of the blessing of Abraham coming on the Gentiles ), but "Christ hath redeemed us," &c. through faith —not by works. Here he resumes the thought in Luke 24:49- : . "The Spirit from without, kindles within us some spark of faith Whereby we lay hold of Christ, and even of the Spirit Himself, that He may dwell within us" [FLACIUS]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
