Severed from Christ

You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. - Gal 5:4

The problem is not with obeying the law. The problem is in seeking to by justified by our obeying the law. “Faith working through love” (v6b) is a summary of what it means to obey the law. Perverting God's wonderful law into a means of putting God into our debt severs us from Christ.
