The Galatian Christians traded the freedom of Christ for the encumbrance of the Jewish law. He calls them ‘fools’ or even ‘idiots’, and marvels wondering whether someone has cast a spell on them!
The key question is this: did they receive the Holy Spirit by following the law or by receiving the gospel? And if keeping the law can achieve salvation, why did Jesus go to the cross? The answer is, of course, that they have come to spiritual life only through the death of Jesus and faith in the gospel.
