I was legalistic (Jesus set me free!)

- I recently used the word legalistic to describe a period of my Christian walk. I think I was being accurate, but I was also not clear and made some people feel like I was condemning them for their obedience. I am sorry for that and I'll try to clarify.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
Thanks for talking about this topic. I think its much needed among us Christians. May God continue to bless you
@@johnkrahn2391 thanks John.
I've had this on my mind lately. You spoke very clearly, and I appreciate how you shared Biblically, not only throwing around references but sharing verses as well.
I was challenged by an unbeliever; if people claim to love Jesus, won't they want to read His book?
I can attest that Jesus will give you a hunger for His Word if you ask Him.
Thanks
@@lainshka1327 I appreciate that!
Thank you! That is the gospel 🙏

This is good stuff
@@Tony-Pino thanks
Tony, I appreciate that!
I wonder sometimes why people cannot understand the gospel when they are in the old colony community. I grew up in Mexico and came here to get baptized in the old colony. But first I had to go to the Wednesday school and there I immediately understood that I can't do anything to get saved. The only way was the blood of Jesus Christ. That saves us
I am still Old colony, and I hear that very often in the church that we can't get saved with doing good.
That people go away from the church. It's not only because they don't understand it. It's also because they want more freedom as the Bible says in 2. Peter chapter 2:19
Thanks God bless you
@@heinrichwall8779 I appreciate that comment Henry. I've heard of others that get saved and stay in Old Colony and then they start hearing the Gospel all the time! I think that's because your heart is tuned to hear it. Many of us only heard things like "vie kjen bloos hoopen"... Meaning, you can't know that you're saved, you can only hope. In my experience the teaching there was very focused on obeying the rules and not so much on rejoicing in the free gift of God.
Thanks!
I think people get confused about whether they can know it or not, it's because not even Paul did know it where he will end up but he knew he was saved at that moment.
I believe we cannot know it where we will go at the end of our life, but right now we should know it.
But whether or not I will get deceived in the future. I don't know
26:50-28:18
So interesting!
I was affected by the lordshipping Galatian Error teaching pastors but, its impossible to work through the law for the perfecting of the flesh this means Christ has to be our righteousness & his finished redemptive work, be where of those kinds of teachers that backload works after Evey sentance & teaching on full assurance by faith alone, so remember through your belief will come the reality of your sonship, see your no longer a slave & servant working for a wage, motivated by rewards & punishments that's how the slave & hired hand act but your a son & heir waiting on the promise SOLA-GRATIA. SOLA-FIDA Apart from works Amen😊..
@@randypierson6358 Amen Randy! Thanks for that!
@@danblatz6136 I found that the institutional Churches today do not teach the Law Gospel Distinction, and this turnes into galatian Error ,this is very very bad And shipwrecks everyones faith & joy and Hauls them off as spoil back to a man centered works based gospel, now the perceived good works are dead works, because of Ill motive & not done in faith, it's really sad and frustrating knowing this & watching sooo many affected by these teachinngs held in bondage with out joy & void of strength and ineffective, right where the enemy wants us the Joy of the Lord is our strength and this is ours by BELLIEVING in Christ's finnished redemptive work member they asked Christ what shall WE DO for salvation Christ answered your work is to BELIEVE now this can be very very challenging to those with the Strong mid-west work ethic because its harder for them to fully REST in Christ's finished work because they can't see a righteousness thats provided outside of their works, and that's Christ as their righteousness.to be Thiers through BELEVING the gospel apart from any works BELIEVE DRAW NEAR LIVE BY FAITH Amen
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" Galatians 6:2 question: Are Christians free of the law of Christ? Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commandments." Are Christians free of Jesus' commandments? Is loving Jesus and keeping His commandments "works righteousness"?
@@randypierson6358 Amen Randy! I love it! Well put.
@@veritas399 I obviously don't believe that would be works righteousness. I think that would be faithful obedience.
