Gods anger is turned away from us because any possible violation of His law justly demands a pronouncement of everlasting death. God maintains a comprehensive list of all sin and every moral defect.In His remarkable foresight He cannot conveniently overlook every constitutional violation. His word justly demands absolute obedience. Hence, we can conclude that every responsible person born has been cursed with death and destruction. God must be an absolutely justified judge, or violent man would be under the most dominating destructive force that is unimaginable.
Since every exposed person is corrupted God must order all things to work for good in Himself. He does this through divine creation and recreation.
He doesn't merely deliver things into existence but orders all things
to produce the good absolutely justified and righteous in governing. We get intimately linked to the only good when we understand the foundation of our trust in recreation and not our will.
We must positively identify God as the only one who is faithful, kind, long suffering and just. To vicariously experience genuine pleasure we must look away from ourselves and focus on our covenant keeper.This means recreation has its foundation on His covenant promises. God proves all divinely revealed words by making Himself subject to divine retribution if He does not fulfill covenant promises. We can say Gods word undoubtedly remains the irrevocable word as a judge correctly pronounces a official verdict. This means our social lives are not in our own power but in Gods sustaining word. We cannot trust in our own righteousness but only in sacred word. He pronounces what is true of us and we know ourselves. No matter how bad we have fallen, how bad our sin, we are no longer under the destructive power of the curse of sin. Because Christ overcame the terrible curse apart from us. We stand or inevitably fall in His power alone. We are consistently defined by Him and not each historical situation.
