I agree, but grace is a scary thing to a lot of people. Some people like a lot of rules to follow and are thus attracted to certain sects of christianity. They feel more secure in their salvation if they have boxes they can check off. Also, there is a hyper-grace movement that is just as harmful as legalism, just on the other extreme of the spectrum.
Most of us are used to a this for that type of system in our lives and it's hard to accept a "no-strings attached" gift like salvation. Obviously there are commands and lifestyle things we live out, but those are done out of love and obedience once we've accepted that great gift. Doing these things out of a sense of indebtedness is the wrong approach, IE earning our salvation.
