4. Galatians 5:2-4 Consequences of Legalism 1. Deprived of the power of Christ 2. Bound to all terms of the law 3. Cut off from fellowship with Christ 4. Divorced from the realm of grace

5. Galatians 5:5 Donald Campbell “In contrast with legalists, true believers by faith (not works) eagerly await…the consummation of their salvation (cf. Rom 8:18-25). Then the righteousness for which we hope will be fully realized (cf. 1 Peter 1:3-4, 13). At the coming of Christ believers will be completely conformed to all the requirements of God’s will. The inward and forensic righteousness which began at justification will be transformed into an outward righteousness at glorification. God will then publicly acknowledge all believers’ full acceptability to Him.”
