No more ” . . . or else.”

“What is the curse of the law [Gal. 3:13]?  It is the or-else-ness of the law: ‘Do this, or else.’  Christ took the or-else-ness of the law onto himself at the cross, so that there is no more or-else for anyone in Christ, as God looks upon us now.  Or-else is gone forever from your relationship with God.”
