Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore ,and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Paul was concerned for the Galatians: that somehow they had come to prefer the old legal requirements over the new life in Christ. It may be that hundreds of picky, small laws are actually easier than the one law of LOVE. “NO,” says Paul. Those many laws are chains holding you down.
