The false teachers in Galatia were concerned with Paul’s message of freedom in Christ.  They apparently thought that if people were freed from the requirement to obey God’s Law, chaos would result.  It would encourage people to live according to every selfish wish.

 

In Galatians 5:13-18, Paul seeks to counter this concern by explaining that Christian liberty is not license to live however we want.  Instead, Paul points out 2 things: that 1) We are Set Free for Loving Service, and that 2) We are to Live Life by the Spirit’s Leading. 

 

His point is that true Christian freedom is seen in lovingly serving others by the Spirit’s leading.
