Not even a little yeast
Gal 5: 2- 3 " Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law"
This is a powerful statement by the "champion of grace". The way I understand this to be is that he is telling them that if they allow even a little law in, then it will begin to change their whole way of thinking and eventually they will begin to change even their way of living and before they know it they will be completely back under law. " A little yeast works through the whole lump". Either Christ is not enough and they need to add a little law as well, or He is enough in which case if they do add a little law, Christ will be of no value.
We cannot allow any law, human traditions and principals into our thinking or into the thinking of the people in our care, "Christ is the end of the law", to us it is over, we now live by the Spirit. And in us He produces His fruit, and "against such things there is no law".

Rom 12: 2 " Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world ( which is judged under the law, law stirs up sin, the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is law- 1 Corr 15:56) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind".
As we renew our minds, which as we have heard from others that this is to transcend to higher level of thinking by seeing ourselves the way God sees us, our lives will be transformed into the image of Jesus. It is pretty simple actually, preaching the gospel of grace ( of course there is no other gospel) will allow the Holy Spirit access into the lives of the people because the message will strip all law, performance and control off people and awaken them to Christ in us. When Holy Spirit is given access to move in our lives, because people are no longer navel-gazing, sin conscious and condemned, He will transform us.
Our Job is to love on people and preach the truth of the Gospel, The Holy Spirits role is to transform people, communities and cities and perform signs and miracles through the transformed people as they live their lives in freedom, as true sons and daughters. It is an unfair partnering, He does it all, we enjoy it all. We must not make things complicated, the foolishness of the cross is simple. Man has just complicated it.
Lets uncomplicate the gospel and we will see nations changed.
