Paul continues to point to the cross in which the Galatians now take offense.

As a believer, to return to the law is to depart from your service to God.

God equips sons with the knowledge and wisdom God intends us to have through His completed Word via the revelation of the mystery of Christ.

The law was not given to provide life or righteousness, but to reveal sin and show mankind’s need for a Saviour.

Those who seek righteousness and justification through the works of the law place themselves under a curse.

By the pattern of Abraham in Gen 15:6 we are counted righteous when we trust exclusively in what Christ has done for our eternal soul's salvation. We are justified by faith.

A believer ought to answer this question daily, "Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law? Or by the hearing of faith?"

Why would a believer frustrate our complete position in Christ by adding the bondage of the law to our lives in Christ and grieve the Holy Spirit of God?

The leaders in Jerusalem recognized God's working through Paul and agreed to limit their ministry to the circumcision while Paul continued among the uncircumcision.

Those from Jerusalem who were putting members of the body of Christ under the law of Moses were wrong to do so as it is contrary to the truth of the gospel of grace.
