Severed From Christ - Galatians 5: 4
The apostle Paul calls on believers
to say no always to circumcision
standing firm in the gospel of Christ
which sets you free for God's mission
To stay in Christ, not under the law
for the law will never save you
only in Christ and in Christ alone
is God's salvation found to be true
Now by trusting in the old covenant
that Moses brought down from Sinai
because of this, you are severed from Christ
out of Christ, you'll remain left to die
Now seeking to be justified by the law
for in it you are never justified
Christ alone is the justifier of the just
it is finished Jesus victoriously cried
These matters finally clearly show
you have fallen away from grace
make sure never to trust the law
in Jesus' name stand firm in that place
(For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.)
Galatians 5: 1-4 (ESV)
