Am I Foolish?

Scripture
Galatians 2
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 3
3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
22But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin.
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Observation
Paul is addressing the Galatia church about why some of them have turned back to false teachings and beliefs, so he gives them a few reminders; "you have been crucified with Christ, so it is not I who really is alive, because Christ lives in me", "you died with Christ so you could live free, why are you trying to attain freedom/righteousness/glory by your small human effort", "the whole world(you) are a prisoner to sin/your own efforts", but "through faith in Jesus, and being baptized into Christ you have been fully clothed with Christ, and are heirs according to the blessings of Abraham."

Application
The verse that pops off the page is Galatians 3:3. Paraphrasing Paul, he has said, "Jesus came and rescued you from being a prisoner to this sinful world, we have been justified by faith in Jesus, not the law. You can gain nothing from following just the law. Jesus made you righteous in the eyes of God. So why are you being fools and trying to follow attain righteousness by your own efforts? You were given the Spirit in the beginning and now you are trying to do it on your own? That is impossible to do. Jesus suffered and died, don't rely upon anything you can do, but if you have believed you have been clothed with Christ."

So the question needs to be asked "am I a fool, for trying to attain things through my own human effort?" Paul says..in 3:3 "After beginning in the Spirit." Think about what he is saying.
When you first believed you were in the Spirit, the Holy/Powerful/Mighty/Omnipotent Spirit,
(the best meal you have every had, the best wine you have ever drunk, the most freedom you have every had, the best relationship ever experienced) BUT/AND now you have decided to try to be Godly/righteous through your own efforts? What a fool? I've had the best of the best of the best, but I return to comfort level in my daily walk. What am I doing on a human level trying to obtain blessings or righteousness? Is it listening to more sermons, is it giving cookies away, is it making phone calls to senior citizens? Non of these are "foolish" when done when I am led by the Spirit, but if I do them just to do them and feel better about myself, I am a fool.

How do I resist being a fool, and being satisfied with "beginning in the Spirit". I think it has to do with complete surrender to Christ. If I was completely surrendered to Christ, and continued to be clothed in Christ then that is enough. I don't need to try to add different human efforts to have God look at me in any better light, then through the eyes of Christ. God sees me as His son, His Righteousness purely because of Christ, not because of any human effort on my part.
If God leads me to do things as a representative of His, then yes I must do that human effort, to further the kingdom of God, but not because I think God will think better of me if I do it.

Prayer
Father, You have provided everything I need to be your child. This world wants to hold me as a prisoner, but you sent Christ to set me free, to be clothed in Christ. You have provided protection through Christ. I ask that you burn out of me anything I am doing as a human effort to gain more of you. I do not want to be a fool, because you have given me the best from the beginning, and I do not want to replace any of that with wasteless/useless/tasteless/ Warren efforts. Thank you for your grace every day, as you mold me daily.
Amen.
