Ps 119 119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;
therefore I love your statutes.
120 My flesh trembles in fear of you;
I stand in awe of your laws."

Everything that exist was decreed in Gods eternal counsel. God spoke all things into existence according to His law, decrees, statutes, curses, decrees and promises. These axioms are not just standards of conduct. The characteristics are interwoven into the fabric of creation. This means that God views all events according to His sovereign will. He planned and determined the outcome of all things in His eternal counsel. The Psalmist teaches that God writes the history of all the creation describing the past according to the axioms as the reasonable argument for His decrees. The events of time are proof that God acts according to His law in order to provide the firm foundation so that He can prove that His purposes are always successful. The Psalmist is saying that Gods works are proof that His testimonies are true. He is teaching that the statutes are upheld by God according to His testimonies or judgements.

The axioms are also interwoven into the desires of man. God had to contain sin and destruction by recreating all things according to the axioms. The question is , Do we have a full revelation of salvation or are we left in mystery until the final judgement? How can we trust that God works sovereignly in containing the unity of salvation unless the axioms are creative laws that allow and prevent the events of time? And if God has not communicated to us a full salvation then we cannot be responsible for our frustrations. If we are not responsible for our frustrations then Christ cannot be a complete substitute. So the Psalmist is teaching that we are restored to the creation covenant in which we fully exercise our free will according to the axioms. If Christ is a complete substitute then we must have free will to rule over the creation. Gods government is revealed in Christ statutory work in looking backward from the incarnation and going forward unto the final judgement.

The exercise of free will is the revelation of Gods sovereign salvation. This free will has been revealed through the pronouncements of the King. If the implantation of Gods law was not fully revealed then man cannot be fully responsible for violating that law. If we are not fully responsible then we are left to the judgements of man. If the adjudication of salvation is not according to the law then salvation is mystical. If salvation is mystical then there is no standard of free will. God would not be successful if man was not free to fulfill his purposes.

If God were not fully sovereign then He would not have the power to overcome the consequences of sin and destruction. And if man were not fully responsible he would have no hope of overcoming this destruction. If man was not responsible according to Gods standard of the law then he would destroy the world. So God had to decree blessing and cursing in eternity past in order to eliminate the opposition to the free exercise of His justice. Without justice there would be no free will. So God established His justice and freedom in the pronouncements. Gods justice is pronounced in order to establish the line of blessing and cursing so that He could reconcile mans freedom with His sovereignty. God has established His government by recreating the events of time through the pronouncements in order to uphold His statutes. The pronouncements create the pre determined events brought into time for either for blessing or cursing.AR
