Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 5:1-26
Shall we turn now to Galatians chapter five. The whole concept is: how do I establish a righteous standing before God? Can I be righteous by keeping the law? Or am I righteous by my simple faith in Jesus Christ? Now, Paul taught righteousness through faith. There followed Paul teachers, Judaizers who brought another gospel, which was not really a gospel. For they were saying that was it was necessary to be circumcised and to keep the law of Moses in order to be righteous before God, to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 5:1-26
Galatians 5:1 . Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, by the redemption he has procured through the shedding of his own most precious blood. The liberty of your celestial birth, comprising pardon, and all the blessings of the new covenant. The power to leave the galling rituals of the law behind, and put on the garments of righteousness, as the sons of Abraham and of Sarah. The yoke of bondage is now superseded by divine adoption, which makes us sons of... read more

Galatians 5:1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us freer and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.The freedom of the ChristianIt is necessary that we first see generally what that “liberty” is, “wherewith Christ maketh His people free.” I cannot hold any one “free,” so long as his own conscience locks him up into the fear of death and punishment. The mind which has places which it is afraid to touch, can never expatiate every where; and the mind which... read more

Galatians 5:2If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.The law and graceI. God will deal with us either altogether by works or altogether by Christ; these things cannot be mixed.II. To piece up therefore the righteousness of Christ by our own works, and to add anything to the passion as a meritorious cause of our justification, is to make Christ unprofitable.III. We ought to content ourselves with Christ and His merits alone (Colossians 2:10). (T. Manton, D. D.)CircumcisionI. The... read more

Galatians 5:3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.The great dilemmaI. Justification by the law.1. What this means.(1) Circumcision which commits a man to the law.(2) Obedience to all the requirements of the law to which the circumcised are committed.2. Its utter impossibility.(1) The legal covenant is abolished. To seek justification is to follow a course which God condemns.(2) Supposing it still in force, no man can fulfil all its... read more

Galatians 5:4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are Justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.Is Christ preached “of no effect”I think, the sum and substance of my text amounts simply to this: that the attempt to add anything to Christ’s perfect work in the salvation of a ruined sinner, is an entire rejection of Christ, and makes the man an infidel.I. First of all, let us look a little to the effect. Now what effect has been produced upon your hearts by the preaching... read more

Galatians 5:5For we, through the Spirit, wait for the hope of righteousness by faith, Salvation by faith and the work of the SpiritFaith is not opposed to the spirit, but is the child of it.Through the Spirit we wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.I. Declare the Christian’s hope.1. Its singularity. Not founded on parentage, outward rites and ceremonies, moral virtues and spiritual excellencies; but upon Christ.2. Its speciality. In grace alone--looking entirely to the free mercy of God.... read more

Galatians 5:6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.The order of gracious exercises in the renewed heartAll evangelical writers and preachers maintain that none can be real Christians without exercising faith, repentance, and love; but they differ widely in respect to the proper order of these gracious affections. Some place faith before love and repentance, and some place love before repentance and faith.I. Let us... read more
