20 1May the Lord answer you when you are in need; may the name of the god Jacob protect you. “
The psalmist declares that everything that has come into the world was devised and decided by God. God is the Elohim of objective reality, the divine Creator Jehovah. Consequently, God created not to correct a law for wrongdoing but to establish a mutual relationship with humanity. Instead of requiring full obedience to the law as a necessary condition for acceptance, God stepped in in time and finished the work. He carried all the fear that resulted from a world in ruins on himself. So there is only one problem with humanity: the problem of sin, which began a hostile relationship with God. The cry of the human heart must be accepted with grace. If a man is not accepted, he is really desperate. ”
But the problem goes much deeper than creating a world in which all people are united. Adoption.The problem is that when a person sins he is unable to cope with the fear that he must efficiently carry in order to help others. Corruption is the basis of social violence against God and people. Likewise, God is the only one who can promise and demand absolute obedience. The purpose of Christ's dwelling among men was not to ruin them with the claims they failed to make, but to be a substitute who viewed them as if to be treated. All men should treat men as they sincerely wish. The object of our gracious acceptance therefore has nothing to do with requests for acceptance. Therefore, wherever Christ went, Christ miraculously healed all people. We are like the apostle who says he does not look at people for the flesh.
Sin is the cause of mutual destruction in peaceful relationships. The problem is that because we live in a ruined world, all human beings face an enemy who violates our desires and intentions.The law always commands real people to faithfully portray the image God created them to be, but we show an image that goes against the real desires of other sentient people. This is the fundamental problem, even if we do it carefully and in the best way possible for our social relationships. We only experience mutual satisfaction when our unique needs are met by someone who values us properly than we know ourselves. Someone does not have to simply recognize and satisfy our legitimate needs, but rather has to know the optimal experience of the common, united will to act through appropriate action. There is no man who can show this through action or be the perfect answer to our needs. Therefore, our main enemy in this fallen world remains slavery, living our lives through other people.
If God only came as an example and miraculously healed all mankind, would it be enough to create His eternal kingdom on earth? An established kingdom that is completely united and completely satisfactory? Corruption and violence. You see, this inevitably requires God to be in an impossible situation.If God accepted sin and violence simply for the sake of peace, He would be responsible for readily allowing violence and murder; I would overlook the sins of the beloved saints who are a good cause, but the world would never find satisfaction because the resistance would continue. God, conveniently overlooking sin and violence, could not be the defender of the innocent sacrifice.
Therefore sin demands death. Any small deviation from the law requires death. If God were to judge accurately in degree, no grace would be required. The unique value of grace is the relative freedom to experience a world in which the sin of death has been adequately dealt with in the covenant relationship. If God remembered our sins, Christ's death would be unsatisfactory and we would never be accepted. We would be constantly in dire straits.Because all fear is the operative need to overcome pain through acceptance. That is why God regards the saints as weak. Because our cognitive ability to humbly record and confess our sins is never acceptable. not to your liking. We act righteously according to his grace.
