At the core of legalistic religion is the conviction that if we try harder, pray more, and do more, we will obligate God into giving us more forgiveness, blessing, healing or prosperity. This is an elitist teaching that gives glory to us, not to Christ.
Katika kilindi cha Sheria ya kidini ni kusadiki ya kwamba tukijaribu kwa nguvu, kuomba zaidi,na kufanya zaidi,tutalazimisha Mungu kutupa sisi msamaha zaidi, baraka, uponyaji au ustawi.Hili ni funzo la walio bora zaidi ambalo linatupa sisi utukufu, na sio Kristo. Hii fikira husimama na kulinganisha kuamini yale Yesu amefanya,jinsi ilivyo nukuliwa katika wimbo.”
