Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
In order to understand a Christian's salvation by faith, it helps to consider the Law of the Hebrews as it is, extensively, discussed in the New Testament.
More From Galatians 5
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
New Testament teachings on the Law provide us with perspective that helps us know God's truth. The Law is the world of human effort and works, no small amount of sin and little edification. God's truth is the world of faith, the spiritual world of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Galations 5
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
So, where does our understanding of sin come from?
