[ilLEGALism]*
*a.k.a. How the Gospel is in danger of being suffocated by well-intentioned people
*a.k.a. How the Gospel is in danger of being tarnished by people who claim to follow Jesus, but live any way they want to, which is strikingly similar to people who don’t follow Jesus.
That is how the bulletin had church tonight phrased the sermon. Well phrased in my opinion.
Legalism is when Christianity is taught as JESUS + (something else). Jesus is enough and nothing you can do can bring you closer to that. On the other hand, when you believe in Jesus, your life should reflect that change. That change is an effect rather than something you need to do to earn anything.
