Legalism is a distraction from Christ. It is looking at our performance as the ground of Christ’s acceptance. It is fixation on the shadow of Christ, not focus on the substance of Christ. It is resting in ritual for Christ and not rejoicing in relationship with Christ.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains the nature of anger and how it impacts our relationships.

Meditation upon Christ's death helps us in our fight against pride.

God makes us alive, fully forgives us, and triumphantly conquers his enemies on the cross.

Infant baptism is without biblical warrant. Entrance into God's people is through faith. Baptism is the symbol of union with Christ.

For believers, every need is already met in Christ, who alone is legitimate and sufficient.

In Christ, we have all that we want and need. We should not pursue the emptiness found in the world.

Christ is lord. Christians must live in Christ by being rooted in him, built up in him, established in the faith, and abounding in thankfulness.

Christ is all treasure. In him, we have direction, purpose, and joy. He is life itself.

True spiritual growth and unity come through hearts being strengthened, knit together in love, and grounded in the knowledge of Christ. Believers must actively support one another emotionally and spiritually, aiming not just for individual maturity but for collective strength and love within the body of Christ.
