Grace is progressive as it always leads to faith and faith leads to the producing of good works. Too many have it backwards and emphasize good works as a way to faith instead of faith as a means to good works.
According to
Ephesians 2:8,we are saved by grace(what God does)through faith(what we do).When the emphasis is put on rules as a means to faith,faith cannot develop. Faith demands freedom to trust God independently of unnecessary law.
When religion is unduly structured,faith is aborted as people automatically lean on the structure as a substitute for leaning on God.
Neo-Phariseeism erects unnecessary laws and is regressive to the development of faith.
Nonessential regimentation always leads to the frustration of grace,which in turn leads to the killing of faith which in turn leads to spiritual shallowness.
INSTEAD OF LEADING TO MORE FAITH, NEO-PHARISEEISM LEADS TO NO FAITH.
