Legalism is a problem in the church, but so is anti-nomianism. Granted, I don't hear anyone saying, 'Let's continue in sin that grace may abound'. That's the worse form of antinomianism. But strictly speaking, antinomianism simply means no-law, and some Christians have very little place for the law in their pursuit of holiness.
Kevin DeYoungSubmission to the Scriptures is submission to God. Rebellion against the Scriptures is rebellion against God
Kevin DeYoungSincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.
Kevin DeYoungYou can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scriptures interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures authority to handle you. You can use the word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the word of God.
