Falling from grace is the condition of the Gentile Christians when they go back to practice circumcision which is an “attempt to be justified by law” and to “be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”. Whenever the New Testament mentions the law in connection with circumcision it is in reference to the law of Moses as shown here. “And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved. (Acts 15:1) "But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses." (Acts 15:5)
