The book of Galatians was written to counter legalism. Yes, the term is not used, but adhering to the law after accepting Christ, is what is defined as legalism. It is a very serious charge an

I believe legalism is trying to earn favor with God apart from the final work of Christ on the cross.

I believe that every child of God is moved to do His will, be it an action or by written/spoken word. To take credit for doing do would be stealing the glory from God and placing it on oneself. I ta

Obedience is not legalism. Making your own set of rules that you HAVE to obey and telling others to do the same is legalism

Observing the Law as a way to salvation is not the gospel. The law was put in place to point to Jesus Christ

There are some really great posts on the first 2 pages that pretty much cover this tired topic ;)

I just cannot fathom why people don't do a study on Galatians...Paul addresses the topic in scripture so

that pretty much covers the debate or the issue or the grievance or the log or whatever :soapbox:

I hope no one decides I need to word things differently because this is not how they personally would have worded things

If your preaching from a pulpit I have to be neutered to stay here :red_smile: oh oh! that's another thread... :sneaking:

There is a fine line between legalism and not legalism, we must obey, is that legalism?

No.

Consult Galatians. Paul addressed the problem through the entire letter.

Are you saying it's ok for a person to disobey?

Is obedience a form of legalism - or not?

That's not what I said. That is your question but that is not what I said

I said Paul addressed the problem of legalism in the letter to the Galatians

Hey excuse me ... this pic bugs me!

Personally, I like this wording... And I agree with what you're saying. ;)

Out of curiosity though which specific passages were you referring to? Or is it a reference to the whole book? :help:

The letter was written by Paul to the church in Galatia to counter the influence of the 'Judaizers' ...Paul's emphasis

is on the fact that we are justified by faith in Christ alone

Gal. 5:1 ' It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand FIRM then, and do not let yourselves be BURDENED

AGAIN by a yoke of slavery (the law)
