We need to understand that level of mystery because it is the legal justification of words. Every word is judged by God. But I do not think its just the physical words on a page. Its the spirit of the words as well. All the words of God are unified by the spirit of one word. We must think in absolute terms when we are describing the legal position we have before God. Because a false word spoken is to defect from Gods kingdom and to threaten anyone who holds to the true words. This is why the doctrinal words in the ot were part of a courtroom argument to make war with the nations. So this biblical progressive revelation is in the context of a christian facing a problem that is universal and has eternal consequences. Its Gods pronouncements of guilt to the nations.

We are placed in situations in life where the problems around us become our problems. This is why Gods justification of us is absolute. We are saints because we are declared not guilty of treason. It is Gods absolute pronouncement as an argument before the judge that we are justified by grace. Christ uses grace to prove our innocence. But how can grace be valuable if it just makes Christ work magnified without our enjoying the effects of it? I suppose that i am describing the difference between apples and oranges because we are not intrinsically good. This is what is so hard for us to focus on. Its not how we come to find acceptance with God but its His declaration that makes it so. Now then we are in this position of innocence before God with complete freedom.

Any concession of this position is a weakness of faith. This is why we live and die on our confession. We will not fail! It is so mysterious that we say prayers of desperation as a wish to be separated from men even tho we have the same weaknesses. Because our legal justification is not a logical argument but its Gods absolute pronouncement. We show allegiance by standing on every word as people who do not deserve this grace. This is why we pronounce curses. We could never enjoy this freedom as tied our entering into this relationship through intrinsic justification. We do not belong to ourselves and in seeking to distance ourselves from our former self we declare something that is far from our ability to perform. The furthest from us is the absolute declaration of death for breaking the law. This is why the curse is so effective in killing our flesh.

This places us in the position for using grace to justify our actions. Without grace we cannot come boldly before Gods throne. Grace gives us a relationship with God were the words become reality. .God in declaring us not guilty places us into a kingdom where He has declared the nations guilty and has put all things under His feet. We are now in reality fully accepted before God at the time of our salvation. We now become what His word has already declared about all things. We live in the realm of recreation as we pronounce His legal words.
