Legalism Also or Grace Is For Freeloaders

When legalism is the motivation a person can get pretty self centered, being very concerned with what they are doing that is wrong or right and not so concerned with loving people. A different friend of mine (different from the last post) was telling me the other day about how he had been helping a lady clean up her yard, but all the while he had a bad attitude about it. But even still, he couldn’t say that Christ’s love wasn’t shared then. He told me that would just be giving himself to much credit. I’m like that. I can concern myself with questions of right and wrong all day long and get nothing accomplished. I am sick of "right and wrong" and I am sick of being concerned with myself. I want to look past myself.
