Long version of R.C. Sproul's The Curse Motif of the Atonement - YouTube  Here's the short version. Curse Motif of the Atonement, RC Sproul - YouTube

Galatians 3:13, 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"'

"The more we understand of the holiness and righteousness of God, the more we begin to see by contrast how desperately fallen we are how utterly dependent we are on His mercy and grace."

'In all of (Paul's) teaching, in all of his preaching, in all of his missionary activity, the central point of importance was the cross. In effect, this teacher was saying to his students, "You might forget other things that I teach you, but don't ever forget the cross, because it was on the cross, through the cross, and by the cross that our Savior performed His work of redemption and gathered His people for eternity.”' R.C. Sproul, The Truth of the Cross
