What does it mean that Christ bore our curse?

Answered in 1 source

To say Christ bore our curse means He took upon Himself the punishment due for our sins, thus freeing us from sin's condemnation.

Christ bearing our curse implies that He fully identified with our sinful condition and suffered the consequences of our sin. As described in Isaiah 53, He was wounded for our transgressions and bore the iniquity of us all. This act of substitution means that, by His death on the cross, He has satisfied the demands of the law against sin, thus liberating His people from condemnation. In this way, the curse associated with Adam's sin is removed from all who believe in Him, allowing them to stand justified before God.
