embracing accusations.

truth that i need to be reminded of, every moment of every day:
"embracing accusations" by shane and shane

the father of lies coming to steal kill and destroy
all my hopes of being good enough
i hear him saying, "cursed are the ones who can't abide."
he's right.
hallelujah, he's right!
the devil is preaching the song of the redeemed
that i am cursed and gone astray
i cannot gain salvation.

embracing accusations.

could the father of lies be telling the truth of God to me tonight?
if the penalty of sin is death, then death is mine.
i hear him say, "cursed are the ones who can't abide."

he's right.
hallalujah, he's right!

the devil is preaching the song of the redeemed
that i am cursed and gone astray
i cannot gain salvation.

oh the devil's singing over me an age old song
that i am cursed and gone astray
singing the first verse so conveniently over me
he's forgotten the refrain:

jesus saves!
"for all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them." now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "the righteous shall live by faith." but the law is not of faith, rather, "the one who does them shall live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us- for it is written "cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"- so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of abraham might come to the gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith." Galatians 3:10-14

"and we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." romans 8:28
