Just as I think, "most of my questions are getting answered - or at least not as confusing", I get some new questions. I am beginning to realize, "THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN ABOUT LIVING OUT CHRISTIANITY. FROM THIS, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE QUESTIONS. IT'S NOT BAD TO BE QUESTIONING AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO LIVE OUT THE BIBLE. THIS IS ATTEMPTING TO LIVE OUT LIFE AS A CHRISTIAN." I have been feeling like I have been legalistic lately, yet I haven't. I am simply attempting to be obedient to the things the Lord has been convicting me about. Have I perfected it, no way, I have a long way to go. Yet, doing things because the bible says so isn't legalistic, it's being obedient to Jesus.
Galatians 3:1-3 says, "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in hte Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?"
So basically, I just need to be able to trust in God as I am doing things and not try to do it out of my flesh. It's a lot easier to not be legalistic than I thought. Just because others may think I am being legalistic as I am being obedient, doesn't mean it's true. I can't make my walk decrease because of others misconceptions. I am not saying this pridefully, I am saying it because it is more important to be obedient to God and please Him by obeying Him than by worrying about what others think about my walk.
