For extra 500 points, what does Deuteronomy 27:26 and Galatians 3:13 says and what is the lesson for Christians?

Deuteronomy 27:26 “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out. Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

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 hung on a pole.”

We are no longer under the Mosaic Law because under that law, failure to obey God’s law perfectly brings a spiritual curse, but Christ took that exact penalty upon Himself on the cross. Christians no longer live under the terrifying threat of the law's curse, but instead live in the freedom and love of God's grace.
