The reasons why [legalism] is so devastating are: 1. It ignores or underestimates the role of inner attitude and motivation. 2. It focuses upon self-effort rather than on divine enablement. 3. It encourages pride rather than humble dependence upon God. 4. It tends to “use” the Scriptures to reinforce our own preconceived ideas and preferences. 5. It tends to conceive of our acceptance with God as performance oriented. 6. It arouses the flesh and incites us to sin, rather than the avoidance of sin. 7. It tends to impose one's personal convictions on others, and to condemn them if they fail to live up to our rules. Legalism cannot save you, my friend, and neither can it sanctify. Praise God!

A Message from our Provider:

“How about a private meeting with God? Pray!”

Believers will not be judged for sin at the judgment seat of Christ. Every sin of every believer was judged at the Cross, when God “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). At the cross “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us” (Gal. 3:13). As our substitute, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24); “He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God” (Heb. 10:12; cf. Eph. 1:7;4:32; 1 John 2:1-2). Because of His atoning sacrifice on our behalf, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus… Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us “(Rom. 8:1,34). But though salvation is not by works, works are the inevitable result of true salvation.
