Before the foundation of the world, God uniquely designed the magnificent creation. The Psalms teach God declares everything into necessary existence when He efficiently creates and faithfully recreates. Genuine freedom represents God satisfactorily accomplishing whatever genuinely pleases Him. We were fashioned like God because we were issued the creative ability to act according to our free choice. But when man fell into sin, he promptly lost his free choice. Because we voluntarily became abject slaves to sin and moral corruption the only remedy for us is for God to choose for us.
Genuine freedom is having the ability to desire, sincerely think and act perfectly according to Gods Law. No matter what we tolerate in life or what reasons we knowingly give for our choices we are forced to tacitly acknowledge that we cannot be free if we regulate our own lives. Consequently, our continual struggles are correctly reflecting thoughts after God. We maintain no genuine ability to willingly comply with the law. Not even our punishment represents a legitimate payment for our sin. In thinking thoughts after God we are correctly informed that our redemption is found in Gods reasonable choice. We escape the bondage of sin and corruption in God electing us for Himself and abandoning others in their sins.
When God designed man, He focused on each person individually. God designed each responsible person with an exclusive purpose. In this moral sense we are not created to be alone. We were fashioned to faithfully fulfill our part in the thorough history of the world. When sin entered the world we were arbitrarily assigned a virus that spreads to all of our social relationships. We became each others fiercer enemy.We amply demonstrate no ability to promptly correct our destructive actions that persuade others to go astray. God had to provide us with the extraordinary success of carefully regulating our corruption. He delivered divine law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises. The history of the civilized world is the excellent communication of the creative word of God in the law, covenants, etc. All of the criminal corruption that we face in this world is sufficiently satisfied in this perfect application of Gods creative communication.
Every conscious thought, desire, and destructive action to relationships is the redefining of Gods excellent communication. The continuous conflict in all fierce opposition must be waged in pronouncing these gifts of the law, covenants, etc. This is what the old testament writers meant when they said we must place the moral law on our door post, forehead and inscribe it on our hearts.
Every person naturally born redefines Gods Law downward.The redefinition of law is like an act of war against God and creation.Each handicapped person approaches God as the handcuffed prisoner of all wicked men. We severely threaten each other by the terrible temptation of self-atonement. We are incapable to be the excellent example of substitutionary atonement.A responsible person who is an example of substitutionary atonement instantly ceases the sin that was amply atoned for. We face the wicked who act with forethought to merely force us to atone for our sin and the self-righteous who teach perfectionism. Every person approaches God in an antagonistic relationship with notorious sinners. Genuine freedom is recovered in pronouncing the generous gifts to satisfactorily establish the significant relationship that God retains to genuinely care for His beloved saints. As God is free to choose, we become graciously allowed.
