Because it's, it's great to know things, but how do we respond to the Son's role? And first I want to talk about how we shouldn't respond, but often how we do respond. I think in one way we respond to the Son's story of grace is legalism. I think in one way we respond to the Son's story of grace is legalism.
Right. My definition of legalism, you've never heard that term. Term is, is, is trying to pay for something that's already been paid for. The Pharisees were guilty of this, right? They would see God's law as this circle, these are God's commandments. And then they draw a smaller circle and say, you know, if you, if you do these things, you're even a, a better Christian.
You're even holier, you're even more righteous, right? But legalism is trying to pay for something that's already been paid for. Like we just went over earlier, it was the perfect work of Jesus Christ that redeems us. Nothing we can do ourselves. But what happens is, we try to self righteously earn God's favor or forgiveness ourselves.
