20If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: 21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”? 22These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. 23Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Legalism.... we all know what Jesus thought of the Scribes and Pharisee's. He called them white washed tombs.
Legalism can't save you, only the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ can save you. Don't add legalism to His gift, unless you desire condemnation.
David Guzik says: Self-imposed religion is man reaching to God, trying to justify himself by keeping a list of rules. Christianity is God reaching down to man in love through Christ.
How do you practice Christianity?
Blessings, David
