Main Takeaways:
- Legalism turns faith into a performance checklist, making us believe God’s favor depends on our actions.
- Abusing grace leads to complacency, excusing sin instead of growing in holiness.
- True faith balances obedience and grace, relying on Christ’s work rather than our own efforts.
"As you reflect on today’s episode, ask yourself: In what areas of my life do I tend to lean toward legalism or abusing grace? How can I align my heart more closely with the truth of the gospel?"
Next Steps:
- Check out my LIVE Free study on Galatians—explore how the gospel transforms daily life.
- Talk with a trusted friend or mentor about struggles with legalism or grace.
- Pray for wisdom to live in the balance of truth and grace.
