ARE YOU LEGALISTIC?

What is legalism?

An attempt to earn approval from God with our actions

 

Why is it dangerous?

It focuses on externals and not on our internal state i.e. our heart

It can make us look holy

It can rob us of joy and peace

 

Overcoming legalism:

Reject law, accept grace

Live lives that please God

Check your motivation- spiritual disciplines can be helpful

Understand what Jesus has done for us on the cross

Jesus + nothing = salvation

Understand what the Holy Spirit is doing day to day

Jesus + nothing = maturing in God
