After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

Galatians 3:1-5
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.  I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 
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.
Why?
We have salvation through faith and experienced the work of Spirit, why should we exchange the freedom of Christian to exchange the Jewish law?
When I experienced the work of the Holy Spirit I won't forget the living Lord and Jesus Christ.

領受聖靈的經歷來思想。
1.人自以為很聰明,其實是無知。
    人可以不用這麼辛苦,卻是自討苦吃。我要更努力些,不放心百分之百的信靠主。
2.活畫:靠聖靈入門,也是靠聖靈成全。靠聖靈開始,生活就是奉獻,生活就是獻祭。如果基督徒獻祭怎能保留。這些讓人有壓力,因為我們難做得到。人在不知不覺中就靠自己,靠肉體成全,很辛苦,所以白白的受苦。我們應該要靠聖靈。我們常認為屬靈長輩很偉大,但是我們沒有辦法。不要靠自己的努力,要靠聖靈來完成。
3. 劇團有個贊助者,支付全部費用。又如婚姻中,丈夫已經支付一切所需的。神的恩典白白的給我們,不是因為我們做了什麼,這是百分之百的夠用恩典。倚靠我們的父母親:上帝。

How?
Worship the Lord and honor his holy name for my God is a living God.
