My pastor said this in his sermon today. He was talking about being a legalistic Christians. As Christians it is so easy to create a bunch of rules to follow. Yet that is not trusting God. Our sin is taken care of by what what Jesus did on the cross. If we try and atone for our own sin, we are not trusting God to do it for us; however, as humans we want to control everthing. We want to control how we deal with our sin. We want to make up for it, yet we can't. Our only "job" in this Christian walk is to cast all our cares upon Christ and allow Him to make our paths straight. This is very hard and we can not do it by ourselves. We need Christ to bring our hearts to the place were we can trust Him enough to save us from our sins.
