Galatians 5:2-12
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.
The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
Why?
Freedom is precious - much too precious to throw away.
The issue is not so much circumcision as what it stands for. Paul is so incensed(激怒) by those who have unsettled his young converts that he could wish they would go all the way and emasculate(閹割) themselves.
Our freedom comes from the faith through salvation of Jesus Christ.
Circumcision or other custom or law are the yeast that does not have counts in freedom.
Don't let our regular worship or bible reading or prayer become a law and restrict our spiritual life to the Lord.
How?
Let my life connect to the Lord Jesus Christ and other faithful Christians.
