Holiness Rooted in Grace: Avoiding Legalism in the Christian Life

Legalism seeks to earn God's acceptance through performance. Biblical holiness flows from grace, gratitude, and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how believers can pursue genuine holiness without drifting into self-righteousness or man-made rules.
