This thought should cause us all to feel uncomfortable. If legalism lurks amongst the religious, then it lurks in me and you and we need to keep a good look out for it and recognise it when we see it. This lurking legalism should cause us all to examine our own hearts. We can ask ourselves the question as to whether our salvation is more dependent on faith in God or in what we do or don’t do? We can also ask ourselves the question as to whether something good has become something essential.
