What is the danger or legalism in the life of the individual believer?

• It can easily cause feelings of self-righteousness
• It can cause a person to consider others as being less Christian or less spiritual if they don't follow a particular rule or list of rules
• It can and will quench joy in the life of the believer
• It often poisons people to the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
• It can blind us to the reality of God's grace in the life of a believer.
• It can make an individual divisive and condemning.
