Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost: Bottom Line Spirituality
Unlocking the Gospel Secrets of Spirituality
Discover what difference reading these scriptures while Thinking Leaglism or Feeling Grace can make.
The Grace Language of Jesus
SPIRITUALITY CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE
Jesus took legalistic words and gave them the grace meaning to consciously feel the difference being in the Presence of God in Him.
Legalism is idolatry, depending on something outside ourselves to get what God has already given to us inside our selves. Grace is self-correcting.
Romans 8:4 - In order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Grace gets you real friends and legalism gets you tough times!
Think Legalism: “Watch over” means to see from above.
Feel Grace: “Watch over” means to feel from within.
