I believe the work of the cross allowed for the immortalization of our bodies in the future, and that effecting it is not necessary for the time being. The cross paid for it, but it will kick into effect in our future. I think God makes use of our mortal bodies that still house sin for the purpose of maturing us,. etc. in spirit. It makes us battle and put down this flesh and deny it. So, in effect, the cross paid for it all, including the penalty of physical death, but the redemption of the body is not for this time yet due to His purposes in taking advantage of it for reasons beyond the scope of just dealing with death.
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
to wit, the redemption of our body.
FULL redemption includes even the body from death, but though it is not effected yet, it was still paid for by the cross.
So, yes, the curse of Adam was dealt with on the cross as well as the curse of the Law. So I should not have phrased it the way I did. I should have said the curse in the Garden was paid for by the cross, but the full experience of it is held back in time so far as our bodily redemption goes.
