1It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
2Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. 4You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.
Paul makes it pretty clear for those who choose the yoke of the law that you must follow the whole law, and nothing but the law!
Likewise for those that claim you must attend church on the sabbath, you must be baptized to be saved.
Christ will be of no benefit to you, you have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified in another way, you have fallen from grace!
Why does man add requirements to Christ? Pride? Self righteousness? Don't fall into Satan's snare!
Be free, through the Spirit, by faith,
and wait for the hope of righteousness!
Grab hold of Christ Jesus, and faith working through love.
Blessings, David
