• To turn back to the law and its ceremonies, as if to add thereby to the efficacy of the work of Christ, is to cast a slur upon Christ. It is practically saying that, though He “gave Himself,” this inestimable gift is not enough. Secondly, the work of Christ not only settles the question of the believer's sins but delivers from this present evil world. Those who would put us back under law desire to make a fair show in the flesh and thus link us up with the world. (“Galatians 1” by H. Smith)
