Galatians 5:4 NASB
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Notice the italicized words--law and grace.
What is their relationship in this verse?
If you seek to be justified by law, do you have ahold of grace?
If you haven't fallen from grace, are you seeking to be justified by law?
