The curse which fell upon man and nature at Adam’s fall—and also the curse which falls upon all who break God’s holy Law—has been broken (and is being lifted) once and for all for all who believe.
The resurrection looks BACK to Christ’s righteous life and atoning death on the Cross, through which He fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law in behalf of His people, and so secured, once and for all for all who believe, the forgiveness of their sins, the imputation of His righteousness, and God’s free gift of eternal life.
It looks AHEAD to what His righteous life and atoning death purchased: the effusion of divine life out of heaven and into the fallen world-system, an effusion that began on the Day of Pentecost and has continued to this very day, as sinners hear the Gospel, believe its message, call upon Christ for salvation, and welcome Him into their hearts as Lord.
