The Great Exchange
Commentators emphasize that this verse reveals the purpose of Christ's sacrifice. He took the "curse of the law" upon Himself so that, in a great exchange, believers could receive the "blessing of Abraham." This blessing is primarily understood as justification—being declared righteous before God through faith.
