But as a real concern, there are warning signs legalism is sneaking into your faith.What is legalism? Simply put, legalism is when we act with the belief that what we do saves us. Legalism relies upon the power of self and can express itself through religious duty and behavior.This lie leads to death. The letter of the Law kills, Paul tells us, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6). The Law itself isn’t the problem; only us trying to adhere to it apart from God. Our own abilities can’t save us or make us righteous. We need God and his grace for both.Here are seven warning signs legalism is sneaking into your faith.Photo Credit:©iStock/Getty Images Plus/SIphotography Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:52:51 -0400 2026-03-31T02:05:14-04:00 https://www.christianity.com/wiki/current-events/rwandas-massive-church-closures-spark-debate-over-what-truly-qualifies-a-pastor.html https://www.christianity.com/wiki/current-events/rwandas-massive-church-closures-spark-debate-over-what-truly-qualifies-a-pastor.html Clarence L.
