The Domino effect of Legalism

Legalism is what unfortunately causes MANY people to leave the idea of Christianity (since Legalism is NOT Christianity). It not only affects the person who held those beliefs, but also prevents more people from coming to The LORD.

I used to go to a church that believed you weren’t completely saved without water baptism, that you could lose your salvation, and if you weren’t taking communion every Sunday that was sinning. The possibility of losing my salvation always weighed on me until I received some good teaching. I felt freedom in my salvation at that point.

We are saved by grace through faith in Christ, and it only follows that we want to live a changed life. Cast off the old life live the new life in Jesus.

Hey a brother in Christ on Facebook did some research on what religion means. The prefix re means "again" while the suffix religion means "to blind" Put the two words together and you have "to blind again" There is also some Greek words that go with these but I have forgotten what they are

Having seen the effects of legalism on my own life and on others the incalculable damage is awful to live with and deal with.

I'm so sorry this happened to you - it happened to me also, so i can relate. It does do a lot of damage.

@@trainsupporter9088 thank you!

In all the years of being under legalism, a majority of it had me believing I wasn’t really saved, that I had lost and gained it back more times than is even possible to remember. Keep exposing this lie from the pits of Hell!

Amen!!!

Except for the anointing of God, everything else is a free gift from God.
