JEWISH LEGALISM<\/p>\n

Oh watch out for the legalism,
\nOf the modern Orthodox Jew,
\nAnd for the Zionist Christians,
\nThey could deceive you too.<\/p>\n

Forsaking pure Grace of God,
\nThrough faith in Jesus Christ,
\nThey turn to Laws of Moses,
\nIt is clearly a doctrinal heist.<\/p>\n

Rejecting the Bible’s notion,
\nOf the Blood of Jesus alone,
\nThey trust in works of flesh,
\nTho for us Jesus did atone.<\/p>\n

Trying to mix Grace & works,
\nWas His death not enough?
\nThat is what they are saying,
\nBut I reject that legalistic stuff.<\/p>\n

The Lord said it was finished,
\nAs He hung upon that cross,
\nNo other condition is needed,
\nYour legalism you must toss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
