Sola Fide

FLAME

When you believe in the doctrine of election
The way Calvin did (Like I did)
You're pretty much gridlocked in a system
In such a way that functionally
Yet you believe that you're
Saved by faith alone but for the large part
You look to your sanctification
For your assurance (That's just facts)

Back in 2008 back when I wrote a song
Called "Who Can Pluck Us" (Remember?)
And on it I gave a list of ways
That you can test yourself just to discover
(I confess) if you're really in the faith
Part of the elect, Or one of the others
(I was trippin')
I sent you to 1 John, in order to find
If you one of the brothers (God forgive me)
Or one of the sisters
I followed the system but took out of context
That John was addressing antinomianism
And the proto-gnostics (Connect that)
He was not trying to give a test
Just to check our genuine faith
Or to provide a place where
To find your assurance
As if your works are the primary way
Hold up, if we say that we have not sinned
Then we make Him out to be a straight liar
And His word is not in, is not in us
Is a signifier
He's not writing doubting believers to
Give them a test
So they clearly see if they're saved or not
But he's sending a warning to
Christians against these heresies go read it

Justified by faith
I say we ain't pointing to faith
Hollering grace, you can bank on they gone
Say what we say sola fide
Functionally this don't seem like the case
Point them in the wrong place
I say point place sola fide

Lest you hear me wrong
We should bear fruit and seek to grow
Say you a branch connected with the Vine
Then I'm expecting to see results
But the problem is
With sanctification, being the place that
You wanna take them when obviously
Dude probably depressed and
Doubting his salvation
It's kind of Pharisaic how we
Arbitrarily make these laws
He's been saved now for how long and
He's still struggling with the same flaws
(God know how we are)
And then you prescribe he scuba
Dive in that same heart
That sin-filled, hope killed
Broken willed and super dark
You don't send that person inside himself
You remind that saint that it's extra nos
(Outside himself)
We justified by faith alone
So quick to say he ain't a saved soul
You on "go mode", snatching away faith
Probably why non-believers stay away
Now you're doing damage
He can't meet your standards
That actually have nothing to
Do with His grace

Justified by faith
I say we ain't pointing to faith
Hollering grace, you can bank on they gone
Say what we say sola fide
Functionally this don't seem like the case
Point them in the wrong place
I say point place sola fide

Justified by faith
I say we ain't pointing to faith
Hollering grace, you can bank on they gone
Say what we say sola fide
Functionally this don't seem like the case
Point them in the wrong place
I say point place sola fide
