OUR FATHER WHO SETS US FREE

The Apostle Paul, in the book of Galatians chapter 5 verses 1 - 6 urges the believers in Galatia to be uncompromising in their dedication to the freedom that Jesus Christ had provided for them and to be diligent in avoiding being entrapped in the false pursuit of attaining righteousness by adhering to the law. 

 5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. 

To make his case further, the apostle Paul warns the Galatians that trying to attain righteousness by following one part of the law obligates them to follow the entirety of the law.

Instead, he advises the Galatians to remain in the Spirit trusting that their righteousness would be fully attained by faith through love in Christ Jesus.

Amen.
