In our quest to discover Wisdom From Above, we have been looking at Distinctions Worth Knowing. There are many distinctions worth knowing, and one of them is the distinction between license, liberty, and legalism. Far too many have succumbed to the peril of the pendulum and swung to one of two extremes in their approach to the Christian Life. Some have swung all the way over to license. They are being told that they are no longer under law, so they are free to ignore the law and any other rules or regulations that might cramp their style. They believe they are free to do whatever they want to do as long as it seems to be a loving thing to do. Some have swung all the way over to legalism. They are being told that in order to get saved or in order to stay saved they must deny themselves, take up their cross, submit to the Lordship of Christ, and persevere in doing good works. They are bound up by all kinds of rules and regulations declared by men and they believe they must do them in order to maintain a relationship with God. What does the Bible say? Are these two approaches to the Christian life distortions of the truth? What is true liberty in Christ? What does it mean to be free?
