Legalism

On Tuesday night, I prayed to God about legalism, and this is what He said to me in my Daily Devotional the next morning (29 Jun): Colossians 2:20-23
Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations-- "Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle," which all concern things which perish with the using--according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

I also realised the entire Colossians 2 was dedicated to the topic of Legalism, how timely can it be? : )
