"Is "Trust and Obey" a legalistic hymn?"


Seems to me modern theology should omit this song.
 
Trust and obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in Jesus
Then to trust and obey.
 
The trust part is ok, but the obey? I mean isn't God only concerned with faith? And isn't obeying a work "I" have to do. Only Jesus did what is worthy so there is nothing I can do because that is of the flesh and therefore works. You know, once saved always saved. We will all be raptured if you have said the sinners prayer. You don't have to worry about living a holy life, just do whatever you want because Jesus paid the price for us to be free.
 
No, no, no. Christians who are living in disobedience will not be raptured. If a person is a as perfect a Christian as can be and they teach anyone this above lie, they will be part of the foolish virgin group and they will live hell on earth until God puts an end to this world system.
 
The 10 virgin parable is not about the Jews, it is about us, Christians who claim the name of Jesus.
