Galatians-Chapter 03 - 06

Circumcision was thirteen years after Abraham received experimentally justification by the imputed righteousness of Christ (the Seed); therefore, circumcision has nothing to do with justification. While the law has nothing to do with justification, it was added to manifest our sinfulness and to show that we need a substitute. All of the sacrifices and feasts of the Old Testament testified yearly and daily that a substitute is essential for the removal of our guilt.
