Man at Work #5 (SG) - Leaving Legalism

LEAVING LEGALISM
Mark 2:13-3:6 

 

Leaving legalism involves:

 1.  Identifying the problem of legalism.

 

2.  Understanding the places where legalism is found.

  • Some include our:
    • Engaging with sinners
    • Exercising of spiritual disciplines
    • Elevating of the Sabbath

 

3.  Pursuing the path of victory in Christ.

  • This involves:
    • Pursuing heart change, not just conformity
    • Being holy, not hypocritical
    • Reaching out, not regulating righteousness
    • Speaking intelligently, not ignorantly
    • Standing strong, not setting stumbling blocks
    • Teaching the truth, not personal tastes

 

Question to consider:

While they spell the same thing, one leads people to the Savior and the other one drives them away.  Which Christ are you presenting?
