How to Spot A Legalist
“If one is scrupulous about obeying God’s law because one hopes, or intends, or desires, by keeping his law, to obtain or retain one’s salvation, then he is a legalist, and lost. But if one tries to keep his law, not in order to be saved at the final judgment, but because he is already saved and is grateful for his salvation, then he is not a legalist, but a Christian.”
~ John W Robbins

It’s tiring being labeled a legalist or Pharisee when I’m merely trying to live a life that glorifies our God out of love for Him and what He provided me through the blood atoning sacrifice and resurrection of Christ. I’m sure you do as well.
