Legalism
Within Christian circles is known the term "legalism." We know it when we see it, couldn't possibly be guilty of it, but know someone who is. When pressed to define it, the bottom line answer is, "Not what we're doing."
What makes this word so unthinkable? We can confess to lies, cheating, stealing, adultery, gossiping, and more. But, no way could "we" ever fall prey to legalism.
Perhaps we need to feel superior to each other. Though, surely we're not claiming superiority over the great men of old!?! The Apostle Paul had terrible time overcoming legalism and wasn't too proud to admit it.
So, what is legalism (?) ... any custom, routine, obligation, service, regulation, or deed performed to win God's acceptance and favor. The Pharisees were great at it. Paul gave a simple definition. He called it "confidence in the flesh" and "having our own righteousness" (Ph. 3:4,9) ... as if there's anything we could possibly do to measure up to
God.
Acceptance by God (His unconditional love) cannot be earned. It was His gift to us from the moment we received Him into our heart (Ep. 1:6). It's already been given! Though, like any gift, it isn't ours until received.
However, if we want God's acceptance (approval) and divine favor (blessings) in and as a result of our service, our works must be our gift from the heart (II Co. 10:18, Ac. 10:35) ... as God can't be impressed without the heart (I Sa. 16:7). © by Joyce C.
