Chipotleâs first store opened in Denver in 1993, and the chain has grown to more than 900 stores in the U.S. and one in Toronto since then.
Legalism (or nomism), in Christian theology, is the act of putting law above gospel by establishing requirements for salvation beyond repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and reducing the broad, inclusive and general precepts of the Bible to narrow and rigid moral codes.he faith here is the Law of Christ and the law here is the Law of Moses. The legalism of the Judaizers was that obedience to the law of Moses was necessary to be saved. Legalism in the New Testament is believed by some as being revealed by the life of Saul prior to his conversion.
To avoid falling into the trap of legalism, we can start by holding fast to the words of the apostle John, âFor the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christâ (John 1:17) and remembering to be gracious, especially to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
