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

Underlying causes of legalism: 1. Humanistic concept of self-control – “I’m in control of how things go.” 2. Humanistic concept of self-effort, “works” – trying, striving, “I can do it.” 3. False security needs for defined parameters, limitations, borders 4. Work-ethic concept of strict reciprocity – “Get what you work for” 5. Punitive concept of getting what one deserves 6. Traditionalism of maintaining status quo 7. Simplism of dividing life into compartments with instant solutions; fundamentalism. Got a handle on it – all figured out. Instant solutions – don't have to think or trust. 8. Fear of freedom, of decision-making responsibility (Rom. 8:15) 9. Security need for something that is fixed and static, concrete and tangible. Inordinate need to be safe and right 10. Favorite of sadomasochistic personalities; perfectionists, Pharisees.
