Galatians 5:4

Memory Verse

You have been rendered ineffective from Christ, the ones by law being justified; you have fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4).

Do not be fooled as the Galatians were; we are not justified through law before God or men. Christians do not live by the Ten Commandments, nor any other law. We are instructed by God to live out from faith. We are righteous in Christ, by grace through faith. Therefore, our conduct is to manifest who we are in Christ by living out the righteousness that God has imputed to us because we have died with Christ and are raised to walk in newness of life. This is a life of freedom—a freedom to act righteously in all things and seek the best for other Christians. Such a lifestyle will not violate any quality of law and, therefore, cannot be maintained through law.
