50 21 "These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face." The question how one make God like oneself? The Psalmist is reminding the saints we have been set apart by a eternal covenant. The covenant demonstrates why we cannot set ourselves apart unto God. God is the only Person who can pronounce law, covenants, curses, promises and official decrees into objective reality. Therefore, the glorious gospel accurately represents God faithfully fulfilling the laws demands and favorably receiving the exclusive right to place all necessary things under Christ feet by performing all the necessary work. Eternal salvation is always complete. We do not offer anything to God for any further satisfaction. Any official opposition in this life must be put to death because eternal salvation cannot be realistically achieved by anything outside of God. This is why God faithfully carry out a eternal salvation in authoritative pronouncements. The same self-contained God who efficiently produces all things by reasonably speaking into peaceful existence has promptly declared salvation a accurate recreation by genuine pleasure received in Himself. The satisfactory answer to the key question why we cannot merely make God like us because He did not involve us to satisfactorily complete salvation. One undoubtedly makes God like Himself by intentionally trying to gain divine favor. The nation was responsible for vainly trying to fraudulently obtain favor by the daily sacrifices. If so many exposed people in the combatant nation merely employed the means to gain favor, wouldn't God make clear line that we knowingly traverse? We undoubtedly discover the answer of the Psalm in the concluding argument. 22 "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:" Why would God threaten to divide them into pieces like the animal sacrifice? Because God was gainfully employing the motivated violence in the customary sacrifice the critical issue of insincerity. This is a singularly marked line in regarding the sacrifice as a cursed object. The issue represents not the personal rules of communal worship but the eternal life and death identity in Christ. In not understanding the authoritative pronouncement of the eternal curse they were merely employing the means to gain personal favor with God. In all of life merely going to church, sabbath observance and all of these other means of faith cannot make one more acceptable to God. God was warning the unified religious system they were not sanctioned by God because the everlasting gospel had been subtly changed. In regard to any physical markers the opposition to salvation is destroyed by the curse. We are always completely accepted.
