Danoh, "brother" as you know salvation is the "first" step in a relationship with Almighty God through His provided salvation i.e. Jesus. As Christians God provided warnings for US to avoid so we do not harm ourselves and others.
Believing is "obeying" ! Had Moses believed God and not built the ark he would have drowned correct ?
Had Abraham not been willing to offer Issac he would have been disobedient to God correct ?
Had anyone in the hall of faith in Hebrews 11 disobeyed God do you believe they would have been in that chapter ?
Believing=obeying ! Before you jump off into what I am not saying I will explain ,again.
Saved folks do their best to obey God because they are saved NOT to be saved.
Paul is not teaching to NOT obey it is just the opposite.
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Hearing of faith leads one to obey God by placing their faith in HIM. NO faith no salvation.
3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Abraham's faith led to him DOING not just saying.
Absolutely terrible understanding of the phrase "that ye should not obey the truth" there, dodge; terrible.
For he is referring to their having been persuaded by someone to not believe the evidence that Paul had laid out to them - of Christ and Him crucified.
You're as bad as the Hybrids, in their failure at times, to do a correct and thorough word study before allowing themselves their conclusions.

throughout - the Scripture.
What Paul is referring to is to "the hearing of faith."
He is referring to believing.
That is "the obedience of faith."
Of not doing, but of believing.
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
