What Does Galatians 4:10 Mean?
Paul points to a troubling sign: they had begun scrupulously marking out sacred days, months, seasons, and years, as though their standing with God depended on such observance. The calendar had become a new master.
He names this not to condemn reverence but to expose where it had gone. They were sliding back into a system of regulated religion that the gospel had freed them from. The observance had become a substitute for the freedom of trusting Christ, and that alarmed him.
