Just in general, these questions remind me of the second chapter of Galatians. Specifically these verses . . .
[4] And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
[5] To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
If we are not careful, we lose that liberty that we should have in Christ and replace it with the bondage of legalism.
I often hear it said by preachers who want to live and die by the law “well standards won’t make you holy, but if you are holy inside it will manifest on the outside “.
If they truly believe this, why do they harp on standards so much? It seems to me that they would focus on the heart, and have faith that their doctrine would deliver the results that they are convinced should follow.
Has anyone else ever wondered about this?
