[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 assurance (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 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
[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
