Exodus 33:13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”
Galatias 4:8-10 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?10 You observe days and months and seasons and years!
Paul was not addressing people who were formerly following God's instructions for how to know Him and were returning to following those instructions, but rather he was addressing former pagans who had started following those instructions but were returning to celebrating pagan holy days.
God wanted His children to repent and to return to obedience to His law all throughout the Bible and even Christ began his ministry with that Gospel message (Matthew 4:15-23), so it would be absurd for someone to interpret Galatians 5:4 as Paul warning against doing that and saying that we will be cut off from Christ if we repent and believe the Gospel of Christ. Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey God's law by word and by example, so Galatians should not be interpreted in an away that turns it against being a follower of Christ.
Paul addressed
people who "
are justified by the law; (people who) are fallen from grace." Who else but the
Jews?---who else than the very
pagan Galatians, the '
Trojan-Roman-Judah' posterity of
Jacob-Israel? (W.R. Finck above.) ---Who else than the
Jews, whom God redeemed and saved out of the land of Egypt to be a people His own? The people who forsook their Redeemer Elohim-Mighty-Yahweh-Savior-I-AM ... who forsook God, to follow after every and all "weak and beggarly no-gods", whether named SunDAY, MoonsDAY, ThorsDAY, SaturnsDAY,
etc. or Yom Kippur or Tabernacles or <the Creation Sabbath> or <Sabbath engraved in Stone> OR WHATEVER--- Which "NO GODS" IDOLS the Jews <
formerly were following> or Christians formerly were following against the True God's Good News in Jesus Christ, which Christians followed or are today following, determined NOT to know their Redeemer, stubbornly returning back to their idols, determined NOT to follow or worship the true and faithful God of their salvation.
Paul does not address <
former pagans> (in whatever general sense) only, but
Jewish Christians also, former true believers who, not so long formerly, still believed the Gospel that Paul had preached to them, but who, "
desiring to be justified by the law", they "returned to and again started to worship over again, their former weak and beggarly no-gods-of-days etc., like Israel did directly after their redemption out of the land of Egypt once upon a time before. Just so, these in name only Christians or believers
"again started to worship former weak and beggarly no-gods-of-(Holy)-
Days",
"again started to worship former weak and beggarly no-gods-of-(Holy)-
Months",
"again started to worship former weak and beggarly no-gods-of-(Holy)-
Seasons",
"again started to worship former weak and beggarly no-gods-of-(Holy)-
Years',
IN THESE VERY LAST DAYS, AS THE LEGALISTS AND ZIONISTS THEY ARE.
