Galatians 4.12-20

Have you ever noticed that often the people who are most passionately against something are people who used to be participants in that very thing? For example, an ex-smoker who is vehemently against smoking or person who used to be a member of some organization who is now as passionately against that organization as they were at one time for it? Paul as an ex-legalist finds it perplexing that anyone exposed to grace would have any interest in returning to being enslaved by the law. Today he switches his appeal to them from a rational one to an emotional one. If he can’t connect with their minds maybe he can connect to their hearts.
