Paul told the Galatians they were foolish. He urged them to think. Did they receive the Holy Spirit because they obeyed the laws? No! Did they receive the Holy Spirit because they heard the gospel and believed by faith? Yes! Paul wanted to make this clear: Every believer becomes a Christian by faith in Jesus. Every believer continues as a Christian by faith. No matter what any person says otherwise. No one can be saved by the law. Galatians 1-3
