Christians who take the commandments of Christ seriously are often accused of being legalistic. In this message, Bercot discusses the views of the early Christians on the subject of obedience. They saw a clear distinction between obedience (which Christ requires) and legalism (which is contrary to the spirit of Christ). This message explains the difference between obedience and legalism and helps the listener discern if his obedience has become legalism–or if he perhaps is simply disobedient.
