Galatians 5:2 - Additional Comments

If you become circumcised to find favor with God, it will do nothing. You are leaning on obedience to the law for acceptance, but it won't work. Once you have attempted to receive acceptance through obedience, you are bound to obey the entire law (verse 3), you have become separated from Christ (verse 4), and you have fallen from grace (verse 4). Attempting to receive acceptance through obedience will only result in failure. You must go to God through faith in Christ (verses 5-6).
