letra de sola fide - flame

[intro]
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 -ssurance (that’s just facts)

[verse 1]
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 -ssurance, 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

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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
and then you prescribe he scuba dive in that same heart
that sin-filled, hope k!lled, 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”, sn-tching 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
