Many Religions still teach the Mosaic Law today or they mix the law with Grace ---the scripture below is post Cross ----not pre Cross ---in your opinion who is Paul speaking to here ---and what does this line in this scripture mean to you --you have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:1-6 below NIV says this -----verse 4 says ---- You who are trying to be justified by the law(F)have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Freedom in Christ
5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.(A)Stand firm,(B)then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.(C)
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised,(D)Christ will be of no value to you at all.3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.(E)4 You who are trying to be justified by the law(F)have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.(G)5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.(H)6 For in Christ Jesus(I)neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.(J)The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.(K)
So if we still follow the law while we are suppose to be under Grace is this a Fall from Grace ? Grace requires Faith ----there is no Faith required under the law ----the law requires self effort ---
Any thoughts on this
