Our triune God hates legalism and the hypocrisy that comes with it!
For Christians to expect others to do as they say and not as they do…sheer craziness. We need to be doers not just hearers and then we might attract others to JESUS. Isn’t that why we are enlightened to begin with? We need to be authentic and transparent to be able to be used by GOD for His work. the HOLY SPIRIT cannot transform a double sided person. We need to study and live out our faith in our ordinary everyday, lives to be able to be able to finish the job He prepared beforehand for us to walk in. We are empowered when we let go of our agenda and get on god’s.
The letter of the law kills but… Jesus within offers an abundant life.
True blessedness, according to Jesus, is found in obedience to God’s revelation. Faithlife Bible.
It is easy to allow traditional practices to take the place of the authority of the Scriptures. Jesus offers His blessing to those who respond concretely to God’s will as expressed in the Bible. NKJ Bible.
Luke 11:28 (NKJV)
28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
James 1:25 (NKJV)
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
