We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

At His baptism Jesus Christ embraced His mission and then heard His Father say, “I’m proud of You, My Son.” The transcendent cause was blessed, affirmed, and “spiked” by the Father’s vocal affirmation. If He held any doubts about His course in life, they were vanished in that one instance. Every temptation He would encounter and all of the hardships He would endure were immediately put into perspective. He embraced His mission, and He was affirmed by His Father, investing the moment with reverential awe.

Contrariety of legalism to Christian gospel: 1. Legalism is contrary to the Grace dynamic of God in Jesus Christ. 2. Legalism is contrary to faith, our receptivity of God’s activity; a satanic substitute that supplants faith. 3. Legalism is contrary to the Lordship of Christ, wherein He directs and guides our lives. 4. Legalism is contrary to Christian obedience, which is “listening under” the direction of the living Lord Jesus Christ. 5. Legalism is contrary to the Spirit-led Christian life, wherein the Spirit of Christ enables and empowers. (Eph. 5:18). 6. Legalism is contrary to freedom in Christ, and the liberty that is to be realized in present kingdom living. (John 8:31, 32, 36; 2 Cor. 3:17; Gal. 5:1, 17).
