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)

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Galatians 3:2 NIV Amen, Gordon it's all right in front of us, but only revealed by circumcision of the old self to manifest into a new spiritual living being: )
