Secondly, this liberation of ours took place through Christ according to law and justice; it was tested in the judgment of the heavenly Father, approved of and established, so that it is eternally valid, as the Scripture says: "He hath offered one sacrifice for sins for ever" (Hebr. 10.12), "having obtained eternal redemption" (Hebr. 9.12). Yes, this is the testimony of the Scripture: Christ actually has redeemed us from the curse of the Law when He became a curse for us. And this we learned as children from our catechism to believe and confess: "Jesus Christ is my Lord, who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned creature, secured and delivered me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil, not with silver and gold, but with His holy and precious blood," and so forth.
