One of the hardest spiritual lessons to learn for sure.......
Galatians 3:10-14
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed
is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,
it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed
is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Even Peter was hindered by law keeping and many others here including myself, but now we are free through faith in Christ Jesus. Praise be to God in Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit
Galatians 2:11-21
11But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
12For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.[SUP]

13And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;
16yet we know that a person is not justified[SUP]
b[/SUP] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[SUP]
c[/SUP] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Acts 15:6-11
6The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.
7And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
8And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,
9and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.
10Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”
