Legalism simply defined is the dependence on law rather than faith.
Once, I got into a heated exchange after claiming the Bible to be the “perfectly inspired word of God.”
“Oh, you’re one of those,” he responded.
“Yes,” I shot back adding, “And remember I have a doctorate in theology, while you sing in the choir,” which he did.
The following night, I found myself saying sorry to him for being so hurtful and thankfully he accepted my apology. Often I’ll use this incident as a reminder to try and watch what I say in the heat of any argument.
