Are you legalistic? This is a term believers apply to other believers, but not to themselves, for it is not considered a compliment. Do you think I was legalistic? I told the rich young ruler to keep the commandments, and said that not a jot or tittle of the law would pass away. You can find verses to support any position, but what would distinguish my conduct from a legalist? Without rejecting the rules my primary concern was for humanity rather than rules, and I applied the rules to facilitate the spiritual formation of people. The principle that man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man applies generally.
