What does the Apostle Paul mean by the phrase 'you have fallen away from grace' in Galatians 5:4?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A person is trying to be justified by the law instead of Christ
Falling from grace in this context refers to moving from a system of trust in Christ's work to a system of self-effort through the Law. It is the rejection of the free gift in favor of legalism.
