Legalism (Part 2)

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the topic of legalism and urges Christians to break away from the dominant culture and be obedient to Jesus Christ. He clarifies that legalism is not strict obedience to God but rather imposing human standards on others and rejecting the Word of God in favor of traditions. Gregg emphasizes the importance of valuing and pursuing things that God values rather than those valued by the world, and urges Christians to exercise wisdom, not legalism, in their choices and actions.
