So I was thinking about my favorite worship songs and hymns, and it dawned on me that I can't think of a single one, modern or ancient, that is compatible with anything other than sola fide in terms of salvation. That actually gives me goosebumps when I think about it. Consider how many thousands and thousands of hymns have been penned by worshipful believers over the centuries. Now, I'm not saying there isn't a single one somewhere out there with lyrics saying otherwise, but virtually all of them, from all traditions, teach that salvation is from God alone. And doesn't that make perfect sense? Worship is other-directed adulation. Works-righteousness is the very antithesis of worship because it implies glory and praise to someone other than God (or that God's glory in salvation is to be shared). But all the glory and praise belongs to God because salvation belongs to the LORD. Here's my playlist, btw: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL42tJRxRvTXdkUZSA9q0Vo_x836eQebuv
