Ps 17 15 And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."When we are delivered, we are declared righteous. Our old will is not made new. That old will is instantly destroyed.God instantly replaces our old will with a new will. This is properly termed being implanted with the seed of the sacred word of God.When we are implanted with this organic seed, we steadfastly believe all the words of God. We may be decidedly limited in our comprehensive understanding but because we comprehend one word we invariably follow the spirit of all the words.As the Apostle says that because we are saved there is no shameful attempt to thwart our growing in Christ that can overcome us.

Because the Psalmist is declared, righteous he now enjoys a face to face relationship with God. A new birth voice that is reflective.17 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"Your face, LORD, I will seek." Without this new relationship we could never receive anything from God by inadvertently adding to it. Everything that we gratefully receive is exceptionally gifted to us. This new face to face relationship is bathed in covenant language. In other words "face to face" means we are in a relationship with our Father as if Christ was coming to Him. When we are redeemed, we obtain a whole new image.This is the image of Christ. It has hitherto been communicated to us in its fullness. This divine image becomes more distinct as we reach our intended destination of His eternal kingdom. But we already grasp it because we cannot be compelled unbalanced since the word of God unifies all of Gods divine reality.

When we are miraculously saved, we go from the strongest interior opposition to fight with cultural opposition. It is incorrect for us to curse ourselves by thinking we are fighting a war between good and evil. Rather the defiant voices that aggressively oppose God are cultural. 4 6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD". The unavoidable evil that we confront is excessive noise to our attuned ears. As society sustains more and more moral evil, we are confronted by familiar noise that gets louder and louder. This is how we vicariously experience personal opposition. The belligerent power of the curse is no longer accusing the inner man. But its coming from the wicked.It is uniquely expressed by the Psalmist as a threat that we typically hear that argues against our "face to face" relationship with God. 10 11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."This faithless expression, meant to develop a distrust for God, is" He trust in God let God rescue him." This is the Satanic voice to convince us that we are not face to face with God.  

But we genuinely enjoy the face of God who shines brilliantly the eternal glory of Christ. This divine glory is not goose bumps from hearing that God embraces us by the sacred promise that we steadfastly maintain a absolute defense.It's the authoritative pronouncement of our ability to prosecute a spiritual war like a visible war. We have been gifted with the pronouncement of the curse that provide comprehensive protection. This adequate protection is poetically described in the way that God overcame Israel enemies by the dazzling light from His eyes. 4 6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD". Gods face shines upon us by the axioms in the reality that everything opposes us will die but everything, for us, promotes eternal life. We overcome through this flawless face to face relationship gifted to us by the work of Christ. AR
