Freedom From Legalism

Salvation and righteousness are found through faith in Christ rather than through human performance or religious works.

Topics

Salvation and righteousness are received through God's grace in Christ rather than earned through human works.

• Human effort cannot earn salvation or establish righteousness before God.
• Religious performance cannot replace the grace of God.
• Believers must depend upon Christ rather than trusting in their own goodness.
• Grace does not give permission to continue in sin but establishes salvation on the finished work of Christ.
• Good works should flow from a life transformed by God rather than become the basis for earning salvation.

• Place your confidence in Christ rather than your own performance.
• Reject the belief that religious works can earn God's acceptance.
• Thank God for the grace through which you have been saved.
• Let obedience flow from your relationship with Christ rather than trying to earn salvation through it.
