That's Not Legalism!: Understanding God's Law

Legalism! We hear that term any time someone makes a reference to wrong or right behavior in our hypersensitive culture. "You can't judge people!" "The Law was for Old Testament believers!" "Christ did away with the law!"....all of these are typical responses from today's well intentioned but biblically illiterate Christian. But what does the Bible itself say about the law? Is any use of the law today "legalism?" Did God do things differently in the Old Testament, than He did in the New? All of these questions are asked and answered in this second volume of the "Critical Issues From the Bible" series. The booklets in the "Critical Issues in the Bride" series address difficult and controversial topics that often arise in the context of the local church. Written with the layperson in mind, they are designed to help local pastors and elders disciple those under their care.
