“Legalistic law keeping is not the way to earn His favor.”

I chuckle at people who says it’s “legalism” to keep the 4th commandment. But let their husbands cheat on em and suddenly, the commandments aren’t legalistic. Picky choosy with commandments.

You will.

But the Pharisees kept His commandments too.

Law keeping does not mean a right relationship with God.

It’s a matter of the heart, not the outward appearances.
