So I suppose I am. Our correct perspective on eternal verity must really come from broad experience. Because we're inescapably induced of the knowledge that gives us the topmost pleasure. Edwards says our minds pick the nicer thing. God didn't relate to us from the published letter of the moral law. The law was enforced in a perfect theater with perfect attributes to express communication between perfect beings. The law is supernatural. Because each word is connected by the spirit of the words. God is privately linked to us in the spirit of the sacred words. Because the words are usefully employed by the Spirit empowering the holy cherished. The psalmist directs the words in the form of statements. This is why the Spirit doesn't carry us with power, but commands us to control the word. Too numerous people are simply tutoring the word in the environment of obedience. But the psalmist teaches the word that creatively utters moral law, covenants, curses, eternal rulings, empowering bills, and pledges. A meaningful relationship with God is further than always responding to a functional order. God has spoken how he responds in a relationship with us. God is like a counselor who invites us to open up to him in a transparent way. We're further than a conscious will and an active brain on a stick. We're made to reply to this world like God; God enlightens us how he reacts through extreme statements. Thus, in this complex relationship, we learn about ourselves by getting to know God, and we must be truly concerned with wide abuse and moral suffering rather than sin. God teaches us his response to suffering and abuse with extraordinary wrathfulness. This is why the apostle teaches that as we grow we move from a childlike knowledge of God to a particular understanding of God. No doubt we're moving from the sacred word to the Person.
