  The Lord is happy with the people who are humble, and he blesses them with salvation. How does God please sinners? He is doing a finished job to fully satisfy the moral law.  God gave a law that no one would be able to obey. Therefore, if God administered the law in the curse rather than graded law, the law must condemn the destruction as well as the sin and corruption.

The Lord takes delight in his people because he crowns the humble with salvation. How does God delight in sinners?  He does incredible work that goes above and beyond the call of duty.  God made a law to say that he would be pleased with His chosen people only.

  God said that no one outside of himself is good enough to please him.  If God administered the law in the curse rather than graded law, it would condemn sin and corruption.

Without the eternal curse, the moral law would not be able to lead us to the glory of death in Christ. It was impossible for God to accept us with all sin because of the political sin that Christ approves. Christ died on the cross because he couldn't forgive sin without dying.

In this effective way, God was able to bless those in distress and justify claiming that God was criticizing them.

Without the eternal curse, which is what the moral law is, we would not be able to be guided to our glorious death in Christ.  It would have been impossible for God to just accept us by each sin for political sin Christ satisfied. God came to deal with sin once for all by shedding His son's blood on the cross. 

Jesus died for all our sins, so that God would accept us.  God dealt with sin once for all in the cross against the eternal curse for unbelief.

 Saints who are considered good argue against suffering and receive a glorious gospel of eternal salvation by receiving all the divine blessings and cursing all opposition. In every historical experience in this world, God provides a way out.

 Jesus said some people would suffer and be blessed, some would be rich and be blessed, some would have a long life and be blessed, and some would die and be blessed.  In every historical experience in this world, the Lord provides a remedy.

Saints, the people who are believed to be holy and close to God, don't only believe that suffering is bad in itself-- they receive a gospel of eternal salvation that is proven by receiving all the blessings and cursing all those who oppose them.

 149 4“For the Lord takes pleasure in his people, crown of the salvation of the humble." How does God take pleasure in sinners? He does the finished job to abundantly satisfy the moral law. God gave a law knowing that He could not be satisfied with anyone other than Himself. Therefore, if God were to administer the law in a curse rather than a law, he must condemn destruction as well as sin and corruption. In this effective way, suffering people blessed by God could rightly claim that God criticized them as cursed.Without the eternal curse, the moral law could not lead us to a glorious death in Christ. It would have been impossible for God to simply accept us for every sin for the political sin of Christ satisfied. God faced sin once and for all on the cross against the eternal curse of unbelief. Not only do the saints considered oppose suffering, but they receive a glorious gospel of eternal salvation proven by receiving all divine blessings and cursing all opposition. In every historical experience of this pagan world, the Lord Himself is pleased to generously provide an adequate remedy.
