Legalism, Pt. 6 - Why You Know Better, But You're Still in Legalism EP 17 I The Freeborn Podcast
The title says it all.
Your eyes are now open, which means the cage door is open, but you are keeping YOURSELF in the cage now.
Why are you doing that?
We’ll tell you!
This episode dives into five possible reasons you’re staying in legalism. They probably sound like very good, responsible, even godly reasons, but they are lies just the same.
We share the wisdom and insight God gave us when we faced each of these lies.
We hope it shortens the amount of time it takes you to spread your wings and fly.

In this second installment of Part 5 - Forfeiting Covenant for Legalism - we dive into the story of the Israelites on the verge of the Promised Land. Having heard of its abundance and with the promise from God that He had given them the land, we feel the jarring shock and disappointment when they refuse to enter in because of unbelief. How could they be so foolish?! And yet, we are doing the ex...

    I left legalism way back in 1989. What I didn't understand was that I still took it with me. So I lived with so much guilt which led to me feeling like I didn't belong anywhere. The struggle was awful. But God was so patient with me. Since I've been watching the Freeborn podcasts, I've come to realize that I had made those legalistic beliefs and doctrines into idols. When I started to make it all about Jesus things and feelings started to fall in to place with the perfect Will of God. I'm not completely there yet but at least I'm not dealing with feelings of guilt and not knowing where I belong. I started asking God to bring me to a place where Jesus is proclaimed and exalted. I believe He has done this.

    On the topic of drug addicts who appeared to be changed and then fell out… could it be that they just replaced slavery of one thing (drugs) with another (rules) without the heart change that is lasting? To me that is also a big casualty here… how many people “Think” they are saved because the follow the rules? But have never had an encounter and transformation with Jesus Christ?

    It makes perfect sense to me that the enemy would consider ways to infiltrate and corrupt the church, and that planting the seed that all of these rules and ‘standards’ would be the best way to do that, because what do they do? They cause division, and they cause conflict, they exclude, and they oppress. It’s so glaringly obvious. And he’s beguiling, and patient, the origin of this may have come from good intentions, but they were put in place by man, and he’s been watching mankind since the beginning, he knew exactly where this was going to lead, and it has, and just sits back and revels in it.

    I am currently going through that dismantling and renewal stage where I’m trying to reclaim my identity and turn away from a homosexual lifestyle. Being raised in a very legalistic church, it more or less catapulted me into the world, there was bullying both in church and in the Christian schools, it very much turned me off towards church for a few decades, but I am finding my way home now and also trying to unlearn all of that action based and conditional doctrine that I was raised in. That bullying and confusion was a foothold for the enemy to begin to twist my identity and steal it from me. Words are powerful, they can set in motion lifelong difficulties. Things are still difficult, but I know who I am in Jesus and I am trusting His process, but as a younger guy I often wondered why me? I was angry at God for decades, none of my other friends growing up struggled this way, and now that I’m committed, why does this persist? God could have delivered me in that moment of surrender, but I also know that sometimes He does this sort of thing in layers. If I were to have been delivered on the spot, first of all who would believe me, but also how could I be a help to others if I didn’t have to go through a hard and painful process in which all I can do is have faith and draw closer to God? He has a plan for me, and I’ll get there through His grace and guidance, but I also know that I need a support system of those who have gone through this, and that a healthy community of believers is very important for any person. I have very few Christian friends and none that deal with this, and that’s hard. I believe that this is the year of opened doors, and that so much more awaits. This video resonated with me, but this is my story. Thank you for speaking the truth and encouraging us all with your willingness to be used by God xx

It makes me sad now for that young woman. Who felt ugly and old before her time. I, too, was not going to allow my daughter to be bound by rules I didn’t understand. I was afraid that when she was old enough she would quit going to church. I am glad to be free, but I still struggle. I’m not bitter. But that is because of God’s grace for me.
