Legalism is the idea that good works and keeping God’s commandments will help you enter into the Kingdom of God. Yes‚ it is good to keep God’s laws‚ and yes‚ Jesus spoke‚ “If you love me‚ then you will keep my commandments” (English Standard Version‚ John 14.15)‚ but He did not say that keeping these commands would help you achieve salvation. Legalism is not only a false doctrine

Why Was There A Revolution In 1905 The Revolution in 1905 happened for many reasons‚ some reasons are long term and some short term. A long-term cause of the 1905 Revolution was the continuing dissatisfaction of both peasants and landowners to the Emancipation Edict of 1861.
