It is what happens when one cannot obey all that the law of Moses requires. James says if you break one point of the law you have broken all of it. The law was given to show that man cannot do anything to gain salvation outside of looking to the lord Jesus the anointed one.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus the anointed onet, even we have believed in Jesus the anointed one, that we might be justified by the faith of the anointed one, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
No man has kept the works of the law perfectly except the lord Jesus the anointed one, all others failed to do so.
Galatians 3:13: The anointed one hat redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
Great mercy and wonderful grace!
Why was the law given?
Galatians 3:19: Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed [God's anointed One] should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Notice Galatians 3:22-25: But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus the anointed one might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto the anointed one, that we might be justified [declared not guilty before God's throne] by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
What are we to do now?
Galatians 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith the anointed one has made us free, and don't become entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
What amazing grace our God has provided for us in His beloved son Jesus!
