Legalism - When Rules Replace Relationship

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode  we’re looking at something that quietly slips into our churches and our hearts — legalism.What is it, really? Because the Bible is clear. In books like Galatians and Colossians, Paul warned not to add human rules to what God has already said.Legalism is more than strictness — it’s adding to Scripture, creating extra ‘do’s and don’ts,’ and then measuring spirituality by them. And if we’re honest, we’ve all seen it… and sometimes we’ve done it. So how do we recognise it?What does the Bible actually say? And how do we lead people out of it and back into the freedom of the gospel?Because legalism doesn’t produce life — it produces pressure, pride, or discouragement. But the gospel produces freedom.
