Paul in this phrase expresses to the Galatians his frustration with the idea that they have so easily been deceived and misguided. Paul had just started these Churches in Galatia only a few years before. The Judaizers came in behind him attacking his apostleship and telling the people that unless the believe in Christ AND keep the law they cant be saved. Paul preached that you can only be saved through faith in Christ and him Crucified. That in that is where we find freedom and Victory over sin. Faith in what Christ did alone. Christ fulfilled the law and we are now in Christ therefore we are seen as perfect in the eyes of God. We don’t have to struggle to be a better Christian We will never be more of a child of god than we are right now seated in Christ.
II. From him that called you into the grace of Christ
The Galatians in their deception were lead away from Christ and the true Gospel of grace, leading them into a gospel of works making Christ death of no effect.
III. unto another gospel
This refers to a gospel of a different kind. A gospel totally different from the one Paul preached. A gospel of works and not of grace.
