I think it is because she wanted to be like God although she already was. The devil appealed to her desire and love for God. What a wicked manner!

Weren't the Galations and the Colossians being drawn back under the law by some? You can't be perfected (matured) or given life by the law, it kills. You've fallen from grace if you live by the law?

Exactly. LAW was the issue in Paul's day. And I think it is STILL the issue with legalism. People trade what they already have in attempts to perfect themselves through clothing or other activities. It's crazy when you think of it!
Legalists do love God, but are deceived into thinking their actions merit them heaven.
