Legalism is the belief that humans flourish best when they have order, structure, and rules to guide them. The opposite philosophy is liberty – the belief that humans need freedom from restrictions to flourish. Christianity, while definitely promising freedom from the burden of sin while also providing order and rules for living, definitely holds that humans flourish best when in relationship, especially the relationship all humans were created for – with the creator God in Jesus.
