Ps 10 3 He boasts of the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD . 4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 His ways are always prosperous;
he is haughty and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me;
I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
7 His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8 He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent,
watching in secret for his victims.
9 He lies in wait like a lion in cover;
he lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten;
he covers his face and never sees."
God implanted His law in man when he was sired. He produced man with the motives to act according to that law. All men relate to the terrain by generating images according to that perfect implanted law. When man fell into sin, he began reconsidering that implanted law. The inspired apostle duly teaches that mans allowing process becomes nervously twisted because he defenses himself while condemning other people. The eternal law of God prevents man from acting beyond the social boundaries of meaningful connections. It contains the precise order and harmony of creation. The law adequately addresses mans relationship with God and others. The vertical and perpendicular dimension of the moral law of God are the determined cause and asked effect of all that transpires in godly creation. When man naturally fails to suppose rightly about God, he designedly destroys the godly concinnity and abecedarian harmony of elaborate creation. Because the obvious violation is an felonious offense toward God, it must be roughly penalized with eternal retaliation. God demanded death for the most minor offense according to His eternal judgements. The law is effective instrument of cursing. The Psalmist precisely describes the violent geste of the wicked in the specific environment of blessing and cursing. Mans sin brought death to all of godly creation. The terrible consequences of the terrible curse forcefully averted man from coming to God with his own righteousness. God demanded supreme righteousness according to His eternal judgements. Gods judgements could only be satisfied with Himself. The terrible curse had to be duly applied to the miserable object of critical judgement. The apostle teaches Christ came a curse so God could attribute righteousness to His saints. Our sin was imputed to Christ. We courteously eternally entered His righteousness.
This insinuation represents the means by which we come definitively sanctified. Before we're delivered we're alienated from God. The Psalmist rightly describes the violent responses of the man who's in this hostile relationship with God as thinking, desperately asking and acting to set himself up as barbarian god. He describes the terrible acts of the wicked as an attempt to destroy Gods perfect kingdom to rule with immunity and violence. Gods law is innocently justified against all sin and sanctioned corruption in His eternal judgements of death to all violators. Accordingly, the most trivial offense is put in the environment of the most revengeful curse. All sin and rampant corruption are put in the proper environment of Gods eternal revenge. Because the Psalmist directly describes the hopeless solicitations and the violent conduct of the wicked in the utmost ramify terms, he's tutoring the old testament guiding principle in the environment of Romans to" count yourselves dead to stray."We must count ourselves dead to stray by pronouncing the moral law. The law curses the wicked by reliably producing conscious guilt and shame. Rather of the law being the standard of obedience it's the condemning power that kills the opposition to enable Gods handpick. The faithful description of creation is imaged on the foundation of His law. One of the commandments contains the absolute government of God. One word of God represent the spirit of His entire government. When the apostle teaches the origins of deliverance are produced in death, he's tutoring that in the pronouncement of the curse God wrecked the kingdom of man and shouldered the renewal of all effects. To count yourselves dead to stray is to gasp the moral law, covenants, curses, published decrees, enabling statutes and pledges. It's to gasp the death to the kingdom of man and thus render the wicked helpless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to regard for his wickedness that would not be plant out. 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will corrupt from his land.
