Paul continues to make his case that he has authority. He states that Jewish customs (Law) is of no effect. It is not about following rules. It IS about following Jesus. Paul even opposed those who want new converts to the faith (the Galatians were probably pagans before converting) to become Jews first by following the rules of Moses. Gentle Christians are complete Christians and not some "lesser" variety. How many times do we judge others because they do not possess the same preparation or past as we do?
Faith in Christ is all that is necessary. We are in a right relationship with God (righteousness) because of what Jesus did and never because of what we do or can do.
