What are the motives that inspire these legalist's in the church to usurp the Gospel? What prompts them to lay down false ideas of what it means to be right with God?
1. Pride - the first motive v 12. 2. Fear - the second motive v 12b 3. Pretense - v 13
We all know where our tendency lies. Maybe it is Pride for you. Maybe it is
Fear of man or persecution; maybe it is some Conceited pretense about yourself.
Remember Paul's words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:5 (NASB95) "...holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these"
May God help us all to drop the pride, fear and pretense; and trust in the Gospel!!
