GRACE Galatians 5:4-6

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. 

You who are trying to be justified by the law 
Romans 3:28  For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace 
Hebrews 12:15  See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
2 Peter 3:17-18  Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope 
Romans 8:22-25  We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value 
1 Corinthians 7:19  Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love 
1 Thessalonians 1:3  We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
James 2:22  You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
