Bible Note: Rowdy, The only direct Biblical reference to be "fallen from grace" is Gal. 5:4 : "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." Properly translated, it means "You have become void from Christ", our connection to Him has become void by our endeavoring to be justified by the law. Further, The Commentary Critical says, "fallen from grace—Ye no longer “stand” in grace (Ro 5:2). Grace and legal righteousness cannot co-exist (Ro 4:4, 5:11:6). Christ, by circumcision (Lu 2:21), undertook to obey all the law, and fulfil all righteousness for us: any, therefore, that now seeks to fulfil the law for himself in any degree for justifying righteousness, severs himself from the grace which flows from Christ’s fulfilment of it, and becomes “a debtor to do the whole law” (Ga 5:3). The decree of the Jerusalem council had said nothing so strong as this; it had merely decided that Gentile Christians were not bound to legal observances. But the Galatians, while not pretending to be so bound, imagined there was an efficacy in them to merit a higher degree of perfection (Ga 3:3). This accounts for Paul not referring to the decree at all. He took much higher ground. See Paley’s Horae Paulinae. The natural mind loves outward fetters, and is apt to forge them for itself, to stand in lieu of holiness of heart." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
