Verse By Verse Through Galatians (3:3)
3 Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh? -Galatians 3:3 BSB
The Greek word for “foolish” is anoétos (Strong’s #453) which means without thinking or understanding. Some false brothers were deceiving the church members of Galatia (Galatians 1:6-7) by convincing them to go back to the law of Moses to achieve their own righteousness.
Paul is reminding them that if their salvation came through faith alone in Jesus Christ by which they received the Holy Spirit, and who is guiding them into all truth (John 16:13), then why go back to the law which will cause them to stop walking in the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-18)?
The purpose of the law was to show us that God’s standards was way too high for anyone to keep. You see this in Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 8:6-13, and Acts 15:5-11. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior kept the law for us so that when we place our faith in Him, we get credited with His righteousness, as if we kept the whole law.
