PHLegalism is trusting in what you can do for God instead of trusting in what Jesus has already done for you. That’s because it’s easier to be critical of others when you don’t feel accepted and loved yourself.

The Bible says, “We Christians glory in what Christ Jesus has done for us and realize that we are helpless to save ourselves” (Philippians 3:3 TLB).
