What we must understand is that the old testament teaching on eternal curses is very important. When God issued the law, it defined a standard and the corresponding punishment. Gods laws written down for Israel provided pronouncements of a curse for those who fail to meet the requirements. We are delivering moral judgement on an eternal curse - whether it is legitimate or not - that a responsible person voluntarily speaks. God created all things by speaking them into existence. The material world is a display of Gods attributes; it shows the way the almighty creator designed and naturally made the magnificent creation.The work of God endures because it is in accordance with natural law, which is symmetrical, unified, and beautiful. If divine creation were to deviate from this lawful order, it would immediately cease to be an accurate representation of God. All evil is a distortion of Gods word. Sin is defined as "ra'a'," meaning wicked or injurious. It is wicked because it breaks up all that is good or desirable, and injurious to all others. The companion bible states that God must judge every word pronounced by man. This is because Adam's sin began the process of redefining Gods word. God spoke the sacred word in moral laws, divine decrees, enabling statutes, curses, covenants, and promises. These are the principal parts of the moral law, and God pronounces them throughout the Psalms. In doing so, he satisfactorily establishes the unique circumstances for the eternal kingdom to sufficiently advance on fruitful earth.He carefully designed and pronounced creation into existence from nothing. Now, getting back to the eternal curses, any time we redefine God's word, we are creating disunity. Just one deceptive word attempts to introduce violence into the world. All violence and wars are caused by false teaching. Hither remains the problem: redefining God's word as cursing one's neighbor, not being able to have the ability to measure up to the standard of the law. Because the law ordinarily requires that we properly promote the well-being by enforcing the work God accomplished in purpose reliably producing our neighbor. If we failed to perfectly act according to law, we would prevent the neighbor from glorifying God.The Psalms define an ethical violation as "cursing" one's neighbor. Adam's sin sent the world spiraling down into a curse. Since God made us, we should relate to one another in a way that benefits our neighbor, as this reflects on our own health. Why would anyone in their sound mind treat their neighbor with contempt? It would result in self-destruction. Sin is deceptive. The human race spiraled down into the curse of inability to act according to the heart's wishes, resulting in a lack of success in life. We are all in a destructive frame of mind when we curse ourselves. God provided a remedy since man was unable to rise up to his primary standard in enjoying God's creation. God generously provides a satisfactory substitute for those who are considered saints.If the moral standard had not been met by the God Man, all men would be cursed. But Christ met the requirement of the law; the judgement for breaching one law was silenced by his passive and active obedience. This silenced the eternal curses, and practically healed every private person in the land. He became a curse so that we might enter into the covenant of grace and blessing. There are only two types of people: those who are cursed or those who are blessed. The exclusive confidence of God's blessed innocent people is that they are righteous because of the divine incarnation and ascension to be the King. This is convincingly demonstrated by the Psalms, which show two specific kinds of curses.The law's curse has not been abolished – it's been upheld. The Psalmist is speaking a curse against those who accused him. The wicked curse the righteous. Because the wicked doesn't have Christ's righteousness, the eternal curses undoubtedly remain on them. The wicked accuses and attacks covenant people who are blessed – that's an evil curse. God's judgement on the official language of the eternal kingdom. The Psalmist is not speaking his own curses but retelling the curses of the law.God uphold the curses, or the law would be nullified. We universally recognize the apostle graciously extending the laws curses to the ultimate ends of the fruitful earth when he says Gal.1 8But even if an angel from heaven or we should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel, other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!"
