What is the difference between legalism and the Torah?
a. These words are often confused when discussing the relevancy of Torah with other believers. Legalism is anything we do to try and earn the love, acceptance, and salvation of God. Whereas Torah itself serves many purposes. First and foremost, as sinners, it tells us that we are not living up to Gods standards. It is essentially a measuring stick. However, after we become believers (in Yeshuas redemptive work) we are now free from the law of sin and death. Sin is no longer our identity, righteousness iswe are accountable for our actions. See Romans 7:7; 8:2; 1John 3:4; 2:36.
