What does Galatians 5:1 admonish believers to do?

Galatians 5:1 admonishes believers to stand fast and unmovable in the liberty by which Christ has made them free, and not to be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. The law was a legal yoke of bondage, so believers are to remain free in Christ rather than return to it.

Les explains that Galatians 5:1 is an admonition to stand fast, unmovable in the liberty, the freedom, wherewith Christ hath made us free. It says believers are not under bondage; they have liberty and have been set free. They are told to be not entangled again with that yoke of bondage. Les identifies that yoke as the Law, which was a legal yoke of bondage. In the surrounding context he notes Judaism's roots in the pure Mosaic and Levitical Law.
