The Antichrist of Legalism
May 23-24, 2026
The Antichrist of Legalism
Scripture: Acts 15:1-11
The scourge of legalism takes the good things of God and destructively counterfeits them. Legalism turns a relationship of love into a burdensome religion of rules. It turns people from encouragers to fault-finders. It emphasizes outward conformity rather than inward transformation. There is a solution: The One who came to fulfill the law.
