How can you know whether or not you are right with God? Does God approve of you based on how well you follow a certain list of rules? And what happens if you fail to obey the rules perfectly? Galatians tells us that God declares us to be in right relationship with Him, now and forever, on the basis of what Jesus has done rather than on the basis of what we do, and that only the power of Jesus, not a list, can transform us into the likeness of Jesus.
