Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you,
whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace.

Hebrews 10:31
[It is] a fearful thing to fall
into the hands of the living God.

Fall from God in heaven: "higher" than the heavens?
Fall to God on "high", in plural divided L/R heavens?
Then it's fearful, since Christ is of "no effect" to you?

Would this be a fall, from Christ above to Jesus on high?

Persecution only happens to CJ folk:
all who will live godly in CJ shall suffer.
Mirrorly the reverse is JC; risen with C.

The phrase does not mean that if a Christian sins, he falls from grace and thereby loses his salvation. There is a sense in which to sin is to fall into grace, if one is repentant. But to fall from grace, as seen by this context, is to fall into legalism . . . Or to put it another way, to choose legalism is to relinquish grace as the principle by which one desires to be related to God. Its the difference between relating to God as a feared authority figure or a growing relationship.

Fallen away from the true gospel of Christ.

Galatians 5: 4- Jesus came to do away with the old Jewish laws. Paul was saying that it doesn't matter. There were still people following the Jewish rituals and customs with the intent that they will receive grace by doing so. Paul says, it matters not. What matters is faith working through love.

Hebrews 10: 31- Those who believed in Christ were being persecuted for their beliefs. Some were falling away. They needed to be encouraged.

The verse you posted answered your questions. Its fallen from Grace. If you feel following the 10 commandments will save you, then your wrong. The commandments was used to show how mankind has fallen away from God. Thus the reason why they need animal sacrifices for "temporary" forgiveness. Justifying yourself the under the law actually condemns. But Jesus christ brought grace to us when He died.

Paul was speaking about those who hide behind the law of man, Christ has no effect on them, and they are no longer in the grace of Christ.

Hebrews is a warning:
Don't piss God off.

To fall away from grace is a term meaning to fall out of favor and salvation from God.

I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins. -John 8:24

He was pleading with the Celts, who had just kicked the Romans' butts and taken over the city. Rome had broken a treaty.

The Celts were not Christian and Paul was admitting they didn't give a hoot about Christianity.

Gaul, Galatia, Galations, all lead to Gael or Gaelic.

There's even a Celtic region of northern Spain called Galicia.
