Galatians
After following the commandments of the Old Testament, I think some of the Jews may have been scared to follow Jesus and put all those laws aside. It seemed to be ingrained in them to follow the laws, or else. To give that up and live in freedom - it would be freeing indeed, but also difficult to become accustomed to. I'm not too surprised that Paul had to tell some of the Galatians to ignore the old laws and live by the spirit instead. Sometimes, it might even seem like legalism is the easier way, rather than having to struggle with maintaining a right relationship with God. In the end though, the new testament brought in through Jesus Christ is far more fulfilling, and ultimately the only effective way to meet with God.
