Galatians 5:4-6
 
As a "Christian" who was raised to focus on the "Law", this Scripture speaks to my heart and I want to share my Bibles commentary with you.
 
Galatians 5:1
 
Christ died to set us free from sin and from a long list of laws and regulations. Christ came to set us free - not free to do whatever we want because that would lead us back into slavery to our selfish desires. Rather, thanks to Christ, we are now free and able to do what was impossible before - to live unselfishly. Those who appeal to their freedon so that  they can have their own way or indulge their own desires are falling back into sin. But it is also wrong to put a burden of law keeping on Christians. We must stand against those who would enslave us  with rules, methods, or special conditions for being saved or growing in Christ.
 
Galatians 5:2-4

Trying to be saved by keeping the law and being saved by grace are two entirely different approaches. "Christ will be of no value to you at all" means that Christ's provision for our salvation will not help us if we are trying to save ourselves. Obeying the law does not make it any easier for God to save us. All we can do is accept his gracious gift through faith. Our deeds of service must never be used to try to earn God's love or favor.
 
Galatians 5:3-4

Circumcision was a symbol of having the right background and doing everything required by religion. No amount of  work, discipline, or moral behavior can save us. If a person were counting on finding favor with God by being circumcised, he would also have to obey the rest of God's law completely. Trying to save ourselves by keeping all God's laws only separates us from God.
 
Galatians 5:6

We are saved by faith, not deeds. (See Ephesians 2:8 also) But love for others and for God is the response of those whom God has forgiven. God's forgiveness is complete, and Jesus said that those who are forgiven express much love. (See Luke 7:47). Because faith expresses itself through love. You can check your love for others as a way to monitor your faith.
