It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1

Living a life of obligation and requirements and trying to live into the expectations of others is a heavy burden to bear—even if those requirements and expectations have good intentions. The joy of resurrection life in Christ frees us to live with love for God and neighbor without the burden of ­legalistic expectations. No one ever gets it right all of the time. But with the Spirit of Christ guiding us, we aim to live by grace and love in Jesus’ name, following his example.

What Paul is saying in Galatians reminds us to never allow burdens or heavy weights of expectation, rules and regulations to be the lead and guide. It was never intended to be the way life in the church or in the life of the believer.
