When we add laws to Christ’s grace, we get legalism—but when we replace the Gospel with personal experience, we get mysticism. Alistair Begg considers how the apostle Paul warned Christ’s people to avoid teachers who claim special truth from intuitions or visions. False mysticism encourages us to expect joy from constant emotional experiences, with false “humility” that discourages us from perceiving reality and trusting in God’s sufficient Word.
18Let no one mdisqualify you, ninsisting on asceticism and worship of angels, ogoing on in detail about visions,4 ppuffed up without reason by qhis sensuous mind, 19and rnot sholding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
