Basically legalism is taking the Word of God as a substitute for; faith in God and having interaction with God with confidence , ..Where the Word of God becomes a idol removing God , where God become a conjecture of purpose ...........So then Holy Spirit will hold back grace because of faithlessness ................. Then some may take the Word of God and ignore other scriptures for rightly dividing the Word of God for truth and never come to the truth , as wholeness of understanding into the way of Christ will be filled with incomplete deceptions ,.............``....... just as the rules of the Universalism belief that God will not condone sin and then ignore judgment , and then usurp Jesus and His judgment at the great judgment and save everyone ``, which comes from the ignoring scriptures , like the scripture of 1 Timothy 2: 4..........become a law for universalism belief which says `Who will have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth ``then ignore the Gospel of salvation from the Saviour , and make this lone scripture , then only scripture for salvations .................which it become legalism rejecting God and becoming an idol substitute replacing God and His Word for truth
Jesus did not bring any form of legalism whatsoever, the form of christianity you have involved yourself into and fully accept did. Many of us made that same mistake, freed ourselves from it and whether you believe it or not or like it or not have the grace of God in our lives.
There is a wonderful life of freedom in Christ outside of the legalism you are involved in. I also believe Tony, that God can use that zealousness of yours for good if you surrender all this legalism at his feet and walk away a man with no burden on his shoulders any longer, but a man with fire in his heart to reach all those ensnared by the same legalism.
