We don't get the usual thanksgiving or greetings in any way, or even prayer for the Christians as is commoon in Paul's epistles.  Rather there is amazement, warning, and judgment, telling us how seriously this is viewed by Paul.

They thought they were honouring God by trying to keep his law, but Paul says to give up on the gospel is to turn away from God himself.  It feels like faithfulness, but it is actually infidelity.

Paul sought to persuade men, but did not seek their approval.  There is always a tendency to want to be liked, but we are first and foremost servants of Christ.  Beware of the snare of pleasing men. God's message is offensive to men because it says you can have no part in the salvation process.  Christ did it all.
