The legalist is in a constant state of uncertainty. Never knowing if they’re good enough or if they’ve done enough to make it into God’s heaven. But we should never worry if we’re good enough because Christ was good enough, on our behalf. Believe it.

You’ve been delivered from the Law

Don’t allow legalism to lead you to a devil’s hell and constant misery until you get there. If you believed the gospel alone by faith alone then you’ve been set free from the condemnation of the law. These next two bible verses make it emphatically clear that Christians have been set from the condemnation of the law.

Romans 7:5

‘For when we were in the flesh (before we were saved and in our lost estate)…, the motions (or acts) of sins, which were by the law…, (and what are the sins defined by the law or the ten commandments?; profanity, stealing, gossiping, adultery, coveting, lying, etc.),…did (past tense) work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death (all the sins that the lost person commits are building up against them for their day of judgment when the books are opened up…Revelation 20:12. And what does Romans 6:23 say “For the wages of sin is death)…

But for the believer…

Scripture is clear that all the sins committed by the lost person are building up. Bearing fruit unto death, a spiritual death. But for those that believed the gospel, next verse.

Romans 7:6

‘But now we (believers) have been delivered (DELIVERED, DELIVERED, from WHAT?) from the law (to repeat we were delivered NOT saved by the law), …having died to what we were held by (the law keeper is under the severe penalty of death because of the law. The law was the ministry of death),…(but because we believed the gospel we identified with Christ’s death on the cross and what was nailed to the cross? THE LAW! THE LAW! Colossians 2:14)…so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit (when we believe the gospel the Holy Spirit comes into our heart and the Holy Spirit takes the place of the law. So we do not need the ten commandments in front of us 24/7 to keep us on track. We can’t do it anyway. But now we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us and empowering us from within. The only power the Law had was to condemn.)…not in the oldness of the letter (or the law).’
