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

Legalism is: 1. Distorting the gospel by adding conditions to free grace: Acts 15:1, 7-11; Gal.1:6-7, 2:11-16, 4:8-11, Gal. 5:2-4; Col. 2:16-17. 2. Substituting man-made regulations for the Word of God: Matthew 15:1-3. 3. Majoring on the minors and neglecting the more important issues: Luke 11:42. 4. Over concern with the externals while disregarding matters of the heart: Matthew 23:27. 5. Regarding with contempt or judging a brother based on matters of personal conviction: Romans 14:1-5. 6. Trusting in ourselves that we are righteous based on religious performance: Luke 18:9-14. 7. Hypocrisy, the leaven of the Pharisees: Luke 11:53-12:1. Legalism is not: 1. A zeal for the commandments of Christ: Matthew 5:19; 1 Corinthians 7:19. 2. A ministry that teaches others to follow Christ in obedience: Matthew 28:20; 1 Thes.4:1-2. 3. Strong personal convictions (as long as they are not required of others): Romans 14:2, 5. 4. Man-made restrictions for personal protection from sinful habits (as long as we do not begin to view them as binding on others): Romans 13:14; 1 Corinthians 6:12. 5. A zeal for good works: Eph.2:10; Titus 1:16, 2:7, 14, 3:8, 14. 6. Limiting our liberty for the benefit of others: Romans 14:15, 21, 15:2; Acts 16:1-3. 7. Obedience: John 14:15, 23, 15:10; 1 John 2:3-5, 5:2-4.

We need to get something straight. God performs miracles. Most of His miracles happened in three periods of history: The time of Moses and Joshua, the time of Elijah and Elisha and the time of Jesus and the apostles. I believe God still does miracles and it’s witnessed every time He opens a person’s heart to respond favorably to Christ, but for the most part, miracles in the official sense are infrequent. As a matter of fact, the Bible says nothing about expecting God to intervene in our life through miracles. If anything, the Bible warns in these “latter days” to be on the lookout for false miracles from the evil one.
