Faith does not operated in the realm of the possible there is no glory for God in what is humanly possible , faith begins where man's power ends !
He employs the metaphor of a yoke being placed upon a beast of burden in order to restrict its freedom and cause it to perform as desired. “Don’t be a dumb ox, and let those religious slave-drivers put the religious yoke upon you in order to drive you to perform according to their expectations,” Paul seems to say. That, indeed, is a binding slavery. It is interesting that the same metaphor was used when Paul went to Jerusalem soon after writing this letter.JF
Christ for all function in the Christian life, are receptive in faith to the grace activity of God by His Holy Spirit. Having received the indwelling Spirit of Christ (3:2), Christians have the dynamic provision of the power of the Spirit (3:5), in order to walk by the Spirit (5:16) and manifest the “fruit of the Spirit” (5:22). By faith we are receptive to God’s activity through His Spirit, anticipating and looking forward with confident expectation to the expression of Christ’s righteous character in our Christian behavior.

- Paul’s statement: “For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.” simple!
That no one is justified by the Law before God is evident,” Paul continues to reason. No person can perform the rules and regulations of the Law completely and perfectly, in order to be declared or made righteous either objectively or subjectively.
even saw dust does not attempt SUCH EFFORT to glorify it self by doing so!!
OLD IS PASSED AWAY THE NEW HAS COME!!!
BE WISE TO KNOW WHAT THE NEW IS AND LIVE IN IT USE IT ..
EVEN THE ASS IN BALAAM COULD SEE THAT !! RELIGIOUS PROPHET COULD NOT SEE WHAT THE ASS SAW !!! HE BEAT THE BEAST, WE BEAT OTHERS TO BECAUSE WE CAN NOT SEE EITHER !! STILL DEAD???No site ???
The Law carried with it no dynamic, no provision, no resource to perform its demands, much less restore and invest divine life in fallen man.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a governor.” The availability of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the Abrahamic promises meant that the Hebrew people no longer required a disciplinary governor. They no longer needed a baby-sitter, a child-escort, or a disciplinary drill-instructor. The slavish purposes of the Law were no longer required. They could go beyond the restrictive supervision of childhood immaturity by receiving the ontological presence of Jesus Christ in their spirit, in order to enjoy the full privileges of adult sonship in the Christian family of God.
If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law” (5:18). “Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Rom. 10:4). Paul was affirming the cessation, the historical terminus of all the instrumental purposes of the Mosaic Law, and advising the Galatian Christians of the impossibility of going back to adolescent discipline when the age of mature adulthood had been made available by the grace of God in Jesus Christ. To even attempt to revert to legalism as the Judaizers were encouraging, would be to deny all the privileges of God’s promised grace. ((christ is not good enough for the snaky legalist .... he is mere lip service for those adding to the gospel of grace ...
Paul declares that “there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
WHAT GRACE IS ALL ABOUT NO ASCENT TO GOD BY US OR MUTUAL COOPERATION, BECAUSE OUR SWOLLEN EGOS AND BIG HEADS , PURE GRACE ....
That no one is justified by the Law before God is evident,” Paul continues to reason. No person can perform the rules and regulations of the Law completely and perfectly, in order to be declared or made righteous either objectively or subjectively.
“since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be
justified.” Later in his epistle to the Romans (Rom. 3:20)
(Ps. 143:2). No “flesh,” no human being from
among finite humanity, is capable of generating or effecting righteousness,
which is the character of God alone (Ps. 11:7; 119:137,142; I Jn. 2:29; 3:7). No
performance of man will make one righteous either objectively or subjectively,
forensically or vitally. Paul had tried his hardest to keep the Law in order to
be righteous (Phil. 3:4-6), and had to agree with Isaiah (Isa. 64:6) that all
such self-effort attempts were futile.
Still unseeing???
Hypothetically rebuilding the argument of the Judaizers in order to refute it, Paul speculates, “But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!” get it?? wow how hard can that be !! love over ego...!!
The Law (whether in its general Judaic
form, or in its more restricted Judaizing form) is “weak through the flesh”
(Rom. 8:3), providing no dynamic of grace. It is proposition with no provision,
regulation with no resource, document with no dynamic, letter with no life,
expression with no energizing – incapable of being the basis of the behavioral
expression of God’s righteousness; capable only of exposing man’s inability and
his need to discover such in Jesus Christ.
This Protestant emphasis sells short the behavioral
implications of God’s narroway is not main stream philosophy its faith based life not a religion, their no platonics here used, it;s relational up and down all the way home.
We hold to being the ecclesia in which all are servants no special buildings with magic boards or costumes ,
Remember do not judge your brother or sister if they sin differently than you do !!! lot arrogance in the spiritual swamp industry we are nto save by the works of the law but by Christ alone no idols needed
“If I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor.” If Paul or Peter or any other Jewish-Christian should attempt to reconstruct the system of attempted performance righteousness by legalistic Law-observance which they had determined to be broken down and demolished, abrogated and razed by the radical transformation of God’s grace in Jesus Christ, then they would be constituted as blameworthy transgressors, walking contrary to the grace of God, the “royal law of Christ”
The Judaizers still thought they could engage in Christian living by performing the “works of the Law,” but Paul had jettisoned all allegiance to the Law, having “died to the Law” by considering the Law as lifeless and inane.
The Law no longer had authority or jurisdiction in Paul’s life as a religious force that might attempt to dominate, motivate, intimidate, or control by making one feel guilty for failing to live up to the standards. Paul was oblivious to the moralistic performance expectations of the old covenant strictures, including circumcision and the food-laws advocated by the Judaizers. going onto day christ is not good enough? faith "" what is faith???maybe that needs tobe the real question???
Paul had discovered “eternal life in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 6:23), being spiritually regenerated unto eternal life (Jn. 3:3-16), and made “alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 6:10).
They often lack the discernment to recognize that diabolically
inspired religious peddlers (II Cor. 2:17) will inevitably misrepresent the gospel
of God’s grace in Jesus Christ for their own selfish benefit and
ends.???
He would go to any length to
please his superiors, even pursuing Christians as far away as Damascus of Syria.
Paul knew well the defense of belief-system, the meticulous observance of moral
Law, the propagandizing proselytizing of those driven to force all others into
conformity with themselves, and the pride of “confidence in the flesh” (Phil.
3:4-7).

all done out side faith is sin !! The ass could see the angle God sent to correct balaam, the rider could not see could not see what the ass saw !!!
Paul caps off his argument to Peter and other Jewish Christians by affirming, “I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
THE ASS KNEW BETTER! than prophet balaam!!! ...amen wise beast!! even it knows what the self righteous do not know religious cannot see faith!!!
help one another and judge not your brother for sins differently than you do !!!!! WE GOT LONG WAYS TO GO!!! TIME WE GONE !It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” The ego-centric “I” of Paul’s former spiritual identity as an “old man,” struggling to perform righteousness and thereby to live, is dead. It has been replaced and exchanged for the ontological reality of Christ’s life, forming the basis of a new identity as a “Christ-one,”
the empty kettle defined ---
Christians in every age are obliged to ask, “Does the old covenant Law have any behavioral application to Christians? Are Christians expected to keep the Ten Commandments?”
Despite the attempts of theological interpreters to arbitrarily subdivide the Law into ceremonial, civil and moral categories in order to make some requirements applicable to Christians and eliminate others, the specifically defined historical parameters of the Law between the time of Moses and John the Baptist (Lk. 16:16) or Jesus (3:19) explicitly indicate that the behavioral incentives of the Old Testament Law are not applicable to Christians.
The Law, expressive of the character of God, is now “written in the hearts” (Jere. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; 10:16) of Christians, with all the provision, resource and sufficiency of the grace of God in the ontological dynamic of the life of Jesus Christ.
many still don't know what spirit led is,
They were reverting back to that natural and religious tendency to desire prescriptive performance guidelines of legislated behavior, thinking that they could please God thereby and achieve the status of “sons of Abraham” or “people of God.” Paul had already explained that the time of being “under Law” was historically past (3:23) for Jesus Christ redeemed the Jewish peoples who were enslaved “under the Law” (4:5), and the same was true experientially for the Gentiles who had become Christians and were no longer enslaved to “elemental things of the world” (4:3,9). same junk goes on now !! amazing sad still do not know the difference or desire to remain ignorant to appease others by their self efforts !!! sounding smart .. or legal...
1.As noted previously (cf. comments on 5:1), Christian freedom entails both a freedom from diabolic tyranny and legalistic slavery, as well as a freedom to function as God intends by the dynamic of God’s grace. By the work of Christ the Christian is free from sin (Rom. 6:14), Law (2:19) and elemental powers (3:3,9); free from the legalistic and moralistic expectations of behavioral conformity to rules and regulations; and free from the self-effort of performance productivity of “works”
2.The precautionary check against abuse of such freedom is addressed by, “only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh.” Preemptively, Paul recognizes the tendency of man to selfishly push freedom into improper latitudes of laxity and license we all do,,,, on many things some we don't know.
The Christian is not “in the flesh” (Rom. 8:9) as an enslaved state of behavioral orientation (cf. 5:24), but he can still walk “according to the flesh” (Rom. 8:12,13) by reverting to the self-orientation of self-effort (cf. 3:3), self-assertion, self-promotion, self-gratification, (cf. I Jn. 2:16), etc.
Such self-orientation and self-focus is antithetical to the “love by which we are to serve one another.”
5:14 “For,” to explain more fully, “the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in that, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
it might be translated “since.” Perhaps Paul had received word that the Galatian Christians, under the influence of the legalistic Judaizers, were becoming quarrelsome and contentious, engaging in selfish infighting and internecine conflicts. Neither legalism or license will ever produce unity and love since they derive their motivation from the same self-oriented and rejective root of satanic character.Two mistake from the same source of trouble, ignorance and ego !! stan seeks to take us down he like hegelian dialectic they work well for him I know as you how easy it is to get had..... we all do it what ever whenever it hits it does , those who say no are lie sis
My dad used to say do nto condemn your brothers you will do like wise in the next few hours ,,, he was right ,,,,
