What is the human race doing today according to Les?
The human race today, for the most part, is groveling in legalism and good works, trying to keep the commandments and not realizing that when Christ died, He paid it all. They are in bondage, having given up their freedom and joy, just as the Galatians were doing.
Les explains that the human race today, for the most part, is just like the Galatians: going back into legalism, giving up freedom and joy, and getting wrapped up again in law-keeping. Paul asks how they can desire to again be in bondage, and Les admits it is hard to understand, yet that is the human race. Even today, people are groveling in legalism and good works, trying to keep the commandments, and not realizing that when Christ died, He paid it all. He contrasts this with a lady who came out of a rigid religious background and gloried in the grace of the message, effervescent in freedom.
