In this episode of Hold Fast, we tackle one of the most subtle and damaging dangers in the church: legalism. What’s the difference between calling Christians to obedience and adding works to the Gospel? We explore how legalism distorts grace, burdens believers, and turns the Christian life into endless rule-keeping instead of joyful obedience flowing from a transformed heart. From the Judaizers in Galatians to modern church culture, this episode examines how both “salvation by works” and man-made standards can wound people and obscure the true Gospel. At the same time, we’ll see why grace is not a license for sin, but the only foundation for true freedom, repentance, and rest in Christ.
