you sin against Christ

Our calling is to be faithful
even to follow the law
though we have been freed of it
cleaving to that word.
We should be faithful
to the laws of God
as if we are bound by our works
not freed by God’s grace.
For some are still believing
that each of the laws applies
and if we deny fail to follow
some of them me go astray.
We sin against Christ
when we cause them to fall
because by our example
we can follow the law.
Yes we are freed of these constraints
by the ransom of Christ
yet we should still walk faithful
bring more to Christ.
