Elder Chris Crouse – Stand Fast In The Liberty
Paul deals with the thought that in order to be a good Christian, you must first go through the door of Judaism. Circumcision became a significant issue. It is in our nature to do something to help Jesus along, but we totally fell in Adam. To achieve salvation, the entire law has to be kept which we have all fallen short of. Paul cautions to not become entangled in the bondage of the law, but rather stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free. However we are instructed to maintain the law of loving each other as ourselves, and he has given us His Spirit to maintain and keep it.
