The Gospel Is Still For You: Legalism & Abusing Grace

In this episode, we explore how legalism and an abuse of grace can hinder our faithfulness to God. The gospel is not just for salvation—it shapes our daily lives. Learn how to recognize and overcome these tendencies.
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.
