《Today’s Legalism今日的律法主義》
Ref. From: Jenna Martin

1 Timothy 4:4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
4凡神所造的物都是好的，若感謝著領受，就沒有一樣可棄的，5都因神的道和人的祈求成為聖潔了。
So, what can we learn from 1 Timothy 4:4-5 today?

The all-encompassing teaching of these “lying hypocrites” Paul talks about was legalism—dependence on personal moral behavior rather than on a relationship with Jesus.
保羅說這些「說謊的先知」的全部教義是律法主義…依靠個人道德行為，而不是建立在與耶穌和好的關係上。

At its best, legalism is an act of pride—a person’s assumption that they can earn their salvation, or perhaps do some earthly good deed in order to keep it—rather than a true desire to honor God.
往好的方面想，律法制主義是一種驕傲的舉動…一個人認為靠自己或者做一些善舉可以贏得救贖…而不是出於一種真正的榮耀上帝的渴望。

At its worst, legalism is used in an attempt to gain superiority over others. The Pharisees are one example of the former. In Matthew 23 Jesus denounces the scribes and Pharisees for heaping burdens of the law onto the shoulders of others without doing anything to help move them, yet they loved to be recognized for their good deeds.
壞處是，律法主義被用來企圖超越他人，法利賽人就是一個例子。耶穌在馬太福音23章中譴責文士和法利賽人將律法的重擔壓在別人的肩上，卻在幫助他們改變上無做為，而他們卻樂於以自己的善行得到認可。

Legalism can also be our way of trying to manipulate God—to make Him act in response to our good earthly deeds. We make sense of it in our minds, believing that if we sacrifice something for God, He owes us something or is indebted to us.
律法主義也是人們企圖操縱上帝的方式，迫使祂對我們的屬世行為作出回應。認為如果我們為上帝犧牲了一些東西，那麼祂就會虧欠我們。

Legalism can take lots of different forms: certain dating practices, avoiding secular music or pop culture in general, refusing to associate with certain people, the list goes on.
律法主義有許多不同的形態：某些約會習慣，回避世俗音樂或流行文化，拒絕與某種人交往，等等。

Most of us have slipped into the sinister jaws of legalism at one point or another—the devil is a skilled liar and, after all, no one is perfect! The key when we do slip is to remember the central truth that we are freely justified through our relationship with our savior. We don’t need to do anything to receive this justification…which is good news, since we can’t!
我們大多數人在某些點上都陷入了律法的邪惡指責…魔鬼專精欺騙，畢竟，沒有人是完全的！我們跌倒時要記住一個核心真理，即我們因與救主的關係而得以自由。我們不需要採取任何行為來獲得這自由……這是個好消息，因為人靠自己是做不到！

All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:24)
Romans 3:24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
透過基督耶穌的救贖，所有信的人都可以因祂的恩典而白白地稱義。
24如今卻蒙神的恩典，因基督耶穌的救贖，就白白的稱義。
