But of course! Now how far can that offense travel? Before being discipled myself, I experienced months of being overwhelmed by the care involved in not quenching this beautiful relationship with the Lover of my soul. It can run incredibly deep and overly impressionable that one might offend God himself.

Misguided obedience that culminates in works righteousness/salvation by works is legalism. (Luke 18:9-14)

Always.

The obedience/abiding taught in scripture is only with the framework of eternal security otherwise it is works.

Notice the "legalists" decry eternal security because they know they are working for their salvation.

John 15:5c; Philippians 2:13 Apart from Me you can do nothing. For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.
