Alex!!! I have been guilty of "over-legalizing" scripture as well. Part of that is my Catholic upbringing and how scripture was taught to me. Even through High School I was taught the Bible was a bunch of "do and don't" from God both in cautionary parables and in Pauls stern words to the early churches. This made me keep the Bible at arms length for much of my early adult years because I wanted worldly freedom and not spiritual guardrails.
