Receive the Spirit by believing what you heard

Galatians 3:1-14
Two questions about our faith:
1)Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 2)Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?
The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham. (Gen 12:3)
Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law. "Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "the righteous will live by faith."
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.
你們受了聖靈,是因行律法呢?是因聽信福音呢
你們既靠聖靈入門,如今還靠肉身成全嗎?
那賜給你們聖靈,又在你們中間行異能的,是因你們行律法呢?是因你們聽信福音呢?
聖經既然預先看明,神要叫外邦人因信稱義,就早已傳福音給亞伯拉罕,說:萬國都必因你得福
凡以行律法為本的,都是被咒詛的;因為經上記著:凡不常照律法書上所記一切之事去行的,就被咒詛
沒有一個人靠著律法在神面前稱義,這是明顯的;因為經上說,義人必因信得生
基督既為我們受(原文是成)了咒詛,就贖出我們脫離律法的咒詛.
Why?
Anyone willing to exchange Christian freedom for the Jewish law, says Paul, is a fool. These Jewish Christians talk about making the gentiles sons of Abraham through the rite of circumcision. But Gentile Christians are already Abraham's sons and heirs - because they share his faith.
God accepted Abraham centuries before the law was given through Moses.
Holy Spirit led us understood that the righteous will live by faith. So to the gentile may receive the blessing through faith as written in Scripture about Abraham.
神對亞伯拉罕的應許早在律法頒佈以前,所以因信稱義是真理。
How?
Receive the Spirit by believing what you heard!
