"At first glance legalism seems hard, but actually freedom in Christ is the harder way. It is relatively easy not to murder, hard to reach out in love; easy to avoid a neighbor's bed, hard to keep a marriage alive; easy to pay taxes, hard to serve the poor. When living in freedom, I must remain open to the Spirit for guidance. I am more aware of what I have neglected than what I achieved. I cannot hide behind a mask of behavior, like the hypocrites, nor can I hide behind facile comparisons with the other Christians."
- Philip Yancey, "What is So Amazing About Grace?"
