Oppose

Romans 3:28 & 31 

28 For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.

31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.

 

Oppose

 

All of us are under the law ... wow that is a deception!

This comes straight from darkness and springs up in our mind?

Isn’t that the start of equality that we deeply hunger for?

To be just like our Maker, Who hungers to be our friend?

 

“If we are led by the Spirit we’re not under the law”

We’re set free from all our sin and its consequence

That seems not understandable for then we can do what we want

It just does not mean that at all if that makes any sense

 

We’re set free to do what’s right and to be guided by the Spirit

He’ll do through us what Jesus wants and will lead us home unscarred

With bruises from the battlefield, which the Captain carefully chooses,

to oppose the prince of this world from whose dominion we’re barred
