S5E14 | Romans 7: Are You A Rule Breaker Or A Rule Keeper? How Does The Gospel Apply to Both?

Which are you in God's Church: a Relativist or a Legalist?

Romans chapter 6 explains and answers Relativists while Romans chapter 7 explains and answers Legalism.

Legalists tend to diminish LOVE. You may be a legalist if - you get more upset at the sins of others than your lack of love for the LORD.

Substituting relationship for religious ritual:
✓When it’s about checking religious boxes such as going to church or attending mass or practicing the sacraments or ordinances
✓When it’s about your position/advantages in the church body.
✓When it’s about protecting insiders instead of reaching outsiders.
✓When it’s about man-made rules and not God’s desires for our lives.

God wants legalism to die and love to arise. God desires love for Him and not simply a commitment to His rules.

When we abide in the LOVE of God and not the rituals of religion we love one another!
