RT @joelurshan Self-righteousness is not a misguided form of righteousness. Self-righteousness is unrighteousness.

Couldn't help but think of the elder brother after Joel's tweet

Read this today:

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.

Here, Paul describes falling from grace, not in terms of immorality or godless living, but legalism.

Are there still parts of the Law that are applicable today?
Or, have they been totally superseceded by "a new and better covenant"?
