The real danger of legalism is that it produces a sense of
attainment that short-circuits our call to live the life of Yes
through Christ. Self-achievement brings a false sense of
assurance that somehow we can live a pure life in our own
ability. This attitude ultimately leads us to cut ourselves off
from the heart of God and, in turn, to deny our true identity in
Christ.
