Tysm for this. I’ve been struggling with legalism in my own life, and it’s so freeing to hear that I’ve been wrong in my actions- appreciate it!
I was once this way... God set me free!!!
I have a close family member like this. I’m not saying that to out them or act better than them. But they see no fault in what they do, but they are thinking everyone wants to be like them, their jealous of them, they are extremely judgmental. I’m a Christian, but it’s hard to respect other Christian’s that act this way. With pride brings shame and dishonor & that’s what is happening unfortunately
It’s extra difficult to deal with when it’s a family member.. I’m sorry you’re having to walk through that, but stay strong and keep letting your light shine!
Psalms 103:12 KJV Matthew 23:19 kjv
Matthew 23:19 kjv
Why don’t most of these types of Christians ever see the errors in their ways? Why do they skip or look over certain scriptures literally talking about their wrong ways? Why? If they know the Bible “so much” why do they pick and choose what to live by.
You are so correct. I was raised in legalistic churches most of my life. It messes with your mind and it also causes you to play God. You judge everyone by your standards. So thankful God took me aways from that.
True repentance, is letting go of self reliance for salvation, saying I’ve tryd it all God there is nothing I can bring to the table , I’m a beggar in the presence of a king wash me and make me clean, no reliance on self can save us , laying it at the saviors feet
Wash me and make me clean yet there is still wickedness and impurity in my heart? Wash me and make me clean and pretend as I sin and the wickedness of my heart pours out that it’s clean ?
Or wash me and cleanse me that I may sin no more ?
@@fredarroyo7429 Romans 8:9 kjv your not Holy , Righteous or a Saint just because you think you don’t sin , only the blood 🩸if you aren’t persecuted, and oppressed Satan just might not see you as a threat , read the Bible . Romans 8:10 kjv And if Christ be in you , the body is dead because of sin ; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. Kjv If we say we have not sinned , we make him a liar , and his word is not in us . Kjv Romans 8:9 kjv I love you, the word is our judge
My parents are mad at me for following Jesus it breaks my heart and I'm almost in tears thats why I'm asking for help I'm being treated like crap for following Jesus
There’s going to be so much pain down this road on our path with Christ, but God is here to comfort us, The Holy Spirit, there’s people or even family who will turn their back on you. but Jesus will never, He loves you so much and I’m praying for you !
I grew up in legalism. Very damaging.
You know what I am convicted on some things to do with this, reminds me I am far from perfect. So Praise God for Jesus Christ our lord and savior. Its one thing I really dislike about my flesh is being judgmental, though I thank God because I am nowhere near as bad as I was.
Praise God for that lifelong process of sanctification! He’s always molding and conforming us into the image of Christ ❤️
Amen jilly
No this message didn’t say that even if you sin you are still saved and you don’t have to walk in purity and perfection . The message he said was that making your own human rules and standards in place of Gods commandments is legalistic . But you need to keep Gods commandments. You can’t say you are right with God yet you don’t keep his commandments, and no as long i don’t habitually sin .
Legalism is a problem, and so is antinomianism....which is rampant in the church. Pushing back on antinomianism is often called "legalism".
True!
AMEN!! This is so good. I was actually up praying to the Lord about this and saw your video. Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏽🙏🏽😊
I think I'd rather have a higher standard to the world's opinion than have my standards not meet God's minimum standards.
What is difficult for the people who don't know what to believe like me is they say you can lose your salvation and quote verses that seem to say EXACTLY THAT and it makes me freak out and become "legalistic" because of fear, trying so hard all the time not to live in "continuing sin." The truth is they actually believe it too and they think they are trying to help other people who they think will just "sin because they can" meanwhile people like me who are freaked out are constantly living in fear, "is this a continuing sin?" Like being dependent on medication perscribed by a doc is that an idol? Whats the difference between that and meds not prescribed by a doc? What about speeding on highway? Or being really excited about things? Isn't that an idol? Or working on sabbath? Whats the line you cross with sin that makes it damnable? Its very confusing
Same here I feel that way too
@@LpsDreamsStarsandMoons if this is how you live, not running to sin but trying to run away from it then I can tell you this for sure, we are God's children.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. (1 John 4:18)
@@melodiemusic9956 thanks it means a lot God reassured me through you
Fr. I thought one time though I was going to hell for listening to Christian music.
Usually when an evangelical calls someone a legalist, they mean "someone who cares more about the Bible than I do."
Sadly that’s becoming more and more the norm. That wasn’t specifically what I was addressing in this video, but I’m seeing that as well more as we see the day approaching. Biblical illiteracy has become an epidemic and it’s so sad to see 😔
Unfortunately I’ve been seeing this since I’ve been introduced to Christianity and it was the main reason why I was hesitant on whether I should follow Jesus or not
Sadly, that probably won't change :(
I've been a Christian most of my life and have been in pastoral ministry for 15 years. I've come across so many wonderful Christian people who exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, but I've also known so many others that fall into this legalistic mindset. I would encourage you not to let your experience with these types of people to color your view of Jesus or true Christianity. His way is better!
I'm a brand new Christian and I'm already so sick of seeing all the veryyy strict judgement.
This was a great stream today pastor, good job pastor ❤
Thanks Coco! I enjoyed it too!
If one is legalistic......then they are no better than the Pharisees.
Oh my goodness. This is good!
U waste time bringing down the caricature of legalism. What about teaching how to strive to live by God's Word and recognize that he has laid out standards for us?
Thank you Moe
No prob Larry
someone needs to show this to Paul Washer and John MacArthur
Great pastors get it right 80% of the time. They do a great job at speaking the truth boldly. I don’t think they’re too legalistic. They hold the church accountable
Legalism is also when people refuse to live according to God's commandments because they are not legally obligated to(ie I am not under the law so i can disregard the sabbath).
This is a truth that makes God so sad
Does God ever make a mistake, The law is literally God's Character, It was so important that it had to be kept Inside the arc of the covenent😢
Many seem to love the other 9 commandments but the one that begins with the word remember is the one pastors tell us to forget😢
Can you tell me if this is a form of legalism? So, I feel like I can't watch secular shows, play video games, watch secular videos, or draw the things I want to draw (the things I want to draw isn't particularly portraying anything against God or his laws, just not particularly about him or has him in it). I also kind of do this thing where I'll see someone doing something that they shouldn't and think "They are probably going to Heaven" but then I think "I can't do this because I'll go to hell". I hope this comment made any sense, but can you help me?
If it goes against your conscience then it is sin. Don’t do it. Where it becomes legalistic is when you impose things that aren’t cut out confirmed from scriptures . You don’t want to call anything unclean that God has not .
The Church I grew up in and go to is very legalistic. I'm married to a wonderful man who also grew up in a very legalistic environment. The problem is, most people in the church know something is off but the problem is the leadership. I don't know how to change this issue in our church. Many would tell me to leave but I can't just make that decision for my family. I'm nervous to talk to my husband about it but for now I am just praying for my husband and our church that this issue will be addressed and that the holy spirit can dwell in our church. The leadership is very old fashioned and traditional, and anything that's new or "modern" right aways get labeled as misleading from the truth. Any advice?
Trying to leave UPCI
Perfectly explained
Amen
You ask me, the finger-wagging gossip-character assassination legalistic types are *at best* insecure about their own salvation; *at worst*, using scripture to bully the emotionally vulnerable and inexperienced.
I’m going to put this out there:
Is it legalistic to assume that because a woman is renting a room in a house from a man is not allowed to be in any type of leadership position in a church due to the likelihood this persons actions ( freedom) may confuse a young believer based on being a “stumbling block “ by actively living in the “appearance of evil” ( this rental is strictly business albeit understandably,others could of course, wonder)( the second line of reasoning is that the teens in the church who are being discipled will see hypocrisy and think “ if it’s ok for this lady- she loves the Lord… then it’s got to be ok for me too etc)
And secondly, is this living situation a direct or even indirect violation of scripture?
And is this scripture verse being applied correctly in this sense?
Question being that “appearance” is subjective. The very same logic used in this scenario can be applied to any single persons conclusions and can get out of control and actually cause more damage in the long run.
Preach brother, as in the Catholic Church
Pastor my parents are pissed at me because because I tried to exsplain how stupid legalism is I mentioned tatoos rock and roll dyed hair wearing at a hat in church and jeans are inapropiate to wear in church are you kidding me? I wore a hat to church and now I'm being rebellious cause my dad doesn't approve really. Jesus hated legalism correct pastor? I told asked my mom why age believes in that stuff she thinks I'm being rediclious asking the Lord for the impossible and I told my mother that she doesn't really know who Jesus truly was. Pastor now I'm mom wants to talk to me because again she thinks I'm being rebellious. How should I go into this today. I know I'm not going to be defensive going to keep calm and heat here out my name is Michael by the way I can use your help if you could please.
🎯
Great example
This is my issue
I've been judged for listening to metal. My parents think that you have to dress up for church or your not being respectful to God. Untrue. My old church made a big deal of wearing jeans in church. I think church dominations are legalistic and need to be desposed of.
You need to dress up for church because you need to be obedient to your parents.
If your old church says you are going to hell for wearing Jean pants then that’s legalistic. But if they say it is not a salvation issue but they want to have everyone in the church not wear pants then it is no longer legalistic, but to obey the authority of the church you do it because it’s their policy.
People still believe the Bible in 2023? Wow
