In Galatians 2:15-21 Paul states his main argument being that it is through God that man is truly justified and not through the laws of the land. Paul states that if righteousness comes through the law then Christ died in vein. This is interpreted as we should not look to laws to dictate our moral compass but in the end we must refer to the teachings of Christ to guide us spiritually. Wherever the law comes into conflict with the teachings of Jesus, and by extension God, we must take the teachings of Jesus over that which the law has mandated. Later in his letter Paul talks of the difference between the spirit and flesh. In 5:16-18 Paul states “16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” This is directly tying his argument of the flesh and spirit to his argument of Christ versus the law. He goes on to state many things that are against the law and also against the morality of the Kingdom of Heaven and “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Essentially saying that the law cannot dictate everything you must posses to obtain heavenly status. In the end Paul is essentially saying that one can obey the laws and not obtain everlasting life in heaven. In order to salvage ones spirit, one must look to the teachings of Jesus and obtain all that which he set out to be traits worthy of heaven, those that are not explicitly stated in the law.
