Justice for all cont

The apostle extended the curses in Galatians. 3 10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[e] 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”[f] 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[g] 13 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 pole.”[h] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

He distinguishes the elect from the reprobate according to the Abrahamic covenant.  Those who are in a covenant relationship with God are not under the curse because they live according to faith because they are given a foreign righteousness. In the ot God established His righteousness by acting as a substitute for the elect. God provided an animal sacrifice as the remedy to those who violated His law. The elect enjoyed freedom from the law by believing that the sacrifice of the coming Redeemer brought them into a relationship with God that was one sided. God established the relationship by giving them all that they possessed. Not just those things that pertain to saving faith but all the things in this life. God removed judgement and provided them with rewards both temporary and future. The covenant with Abraham provided them with Gods covenant of redemption. Under this covenant every thing that opposes the elect will be destroyed so the elect will be completely delivered. Every circumstance the elect go through is Gods display of His salvation. The elect are no longer under the curse.

But those who are not in this covenant relationship look to the law to be righteous. They are under the curse. In the ot economy the gospel was propagated by Israel and went out to the nations. But in the new covenant the gospel is propagated through all nations. The apostle uses universal language to describe the extent of the success of Gods salvation in His saving or electing men from every tribe, nation, etc. The apostles ministry extended to the ends of the earth beyond the old covenant that God established with Israel. And you see the apostle making this universal curse in Galatians.1 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! He repeats it twice for emphasis.

You will find the apostle applying this in the context of salvation and deliverance in those who oppose Gods people..Romans 16 20" The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet."  He has this same attitude in 2 Timothy 4 14 "Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done." The Apostle reasons that if Alexander has success he will destroy a lot of peoples lives. It is like the ot wish in the curse. Then he goes on to say that the Lord will deliver him completely and reward him. 2 Tim 4 16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.- (As a faithful Israelite in the ot sense ..the christian context)  17 "But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen." You see this same attitude displayed in the apostle.
