Christian Legalism



Striving to obey Christian rules and regulations doesn't enable the Spirit-filled walk; it often kills it.

2 Cor 3:6

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

We are told in Galatians 3:13 that the law is really a curse, and in Gal 3:21 that it is impotent, powerless to give life.

Christians have been notorious at trying to legislate spirtituality with dont's:

Christians don't

drink
smoke
dance
attend movies
play cards
wear makeup
legalism can't curb immorality

We often equate Christian disciplines such as Bible study, prayer, regular church attendance, and witnessing with spiritual growth. But merely performing these admirable Christian exercises does not guarantee a Spirit-filled walk
