Legalists appeal to the macho mentality within each of us.
“Come join us,” they say. “We’re really radical.
We pay the price.
We bear the Cross.
We deal with stuff that only a few can deal with.”
And we are prone to say,
“I want to be one of the few,
one of the chosen,
one of the elite group that God will use in these last days.
So I’ll submit to stipulations and regulations
in order that I can be among the few, the chosen,
the spiritual marines!”
“Legalizers have their own agenda,” said Paul.
“They want to exclude you from grace
in order that by your own works,
you can support them.”
They zealously affect you,
but not well yea, they would exclude you,
that ye might affect them.
Galatians 4:17
