Christians must begin to view believers from other fellowships as family members and continually discard their own legalistic tendencies, lest they become fruit-inspectors rather than fruit-producers. Both denominational labels and multitudinous church-splits have born witness to the world that Christians cannot get along. The warning in I Corinthians 8:1-2 is that “knowledge must be held humbly, the better way being to build up in love.” Christians must withhold condemnation except in the case of clear and blatant immorality or heresy, and focus on celebrating the mutual joy of new life. Conclusion - Legalism is a progressive intrusion, and isolation from the World is its warning light. Living well may be the best proof of God’s Truth, but loving well is the best proof of His Grace.
