We may sing of "amazing grace," but do we really understand it? "If there is one overarching truth I want to get across to you, it is this: When you got saved, you were brought into a new regime.

Allow me to ask you a few questions. Were you saved by keeping the Ten Commandments? Are you going to heaven because you're better than your neighbor, or hoping to please God by trying your very hardest to be good? I hope your answer to each of these is no, because no one will ever be saved or please God by these means. When you try to mix human effort with God's grace, you're trying to mix oil and water. Now don't misunderstand me. Legalism is not merely the presence of the Law. God's Law is "holy and righteous and good" (Romans 7:12). The problem is that the Law provides no power to obey it. Legalism is not the presence of rules, but the wrong attitude toward the rules. Legalism assigns to the rules an authority that God never meant them to have. Victory and true liberty cannot be found in human effort. Used Book in Good Condition
