Doctrine Of Justification And Conflicted About The Practice Of Circumcision

Dear Apostle Paul, I’m a Christian in Galatia with some concerns about the doctrine of justification and conflicted about the practice of circumcision. Shortly after your departure, we received instructions from the Judaizers adding extra requirements from the Old Testament. The argument is that only Jews can receive the promises and blessings of God, therefore Gentiles must be circumcised (Genesis 17) to fully experience salvation. They don’t deny the need to believe in Jesus, but insist that is not sufficient and want to combine faith and the Law. Also, claimed that some laws from the Old Testament are mandatory for Christian believers. This doctrine is an open contradiction to your teaching that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ

The covenant was made before the Israelites have been chosen, in fact; it was given before Isaac was even born. So, circumcision isn't given just to the Jewish people, but to all of Abraham's descendants. Abraham obeyed God and all the males in his household were circumcised because for them was the “very sign” of the covenant God made with Abraham before the Torah was even given. Thus, Gentiles believers aren’t excused from being circumcised. In your letter, you argued against this legalistic heresy (Galatians 3:2) and asked, “I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?” The answer is that the Holy Spirit and salvation comes by faith, not by law. You, too, appealed to “Consider Abraham,” (verses 6-7). “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham.” Through faith, we are children of Abraham and inherit the promises that God gave to

It expresses the notion of “rightness” or “rectitude” to declare free of blame; to absolve.” Because God reckoned righteousness to us, He declares us free from guilt, justified, and forgiven. Reckoning, the action, leads to justification, the result. Hence, salvation is a outcome of justification, which occurs by faith. You offered a practical lesson, which explained why the Law of Moses cannot do away with the promises made to Abraham. (Verses 15-16) The “seed” is Jesus Christ, and through Him all believers inherited the promises given to Abraham. The law is unable to give salvation, all it does is condemn us, since we all are a transgressor of the law and need help from God. When Judgment Day comes and the Judge asks why he should let me into his kingdom. How would I respond? Would I say that I have kept particular laws? I hope not, because the Judge could easily point out laws that I haven’t kept, sins that I never confessed or repented of. All I can do is plead for His mercy accepts Christ, who died to redeem, pay the price for my sins. The foundation for our salvation is a
