 On the other side of the law, they will call me anti-law as I catalog this information, but I promise you it is in the book. We have shed our sins in classical logic. We are esteemed saints because we abide by the law, rather than succumbing to the worldly things we see. We are being taken on a journey to the eternal kingdom of light, where there is no oppression or domination.The pen is there to write. The process of deliverance is how we identify and fulfill our individualistic desires as sons of God. Even though I have only shown you what God has done, we still know very well that we are his creation. One way to achieve eternal salvation is to do something that is out of our comfort zone- something that God needs us to do first. We feel no longer embarrassed in front of God. We have made errors so far. Since we have overcome our sinful past, God has dealt with us in a way that is both remarkable and satisfying.To accurately describe the gracious act of obeying on our own as the power to do so is to mistakenly discount grace as an essential part of the process. It looks like you're giving me a gift, but you also decide how to use it. Everyone in the group clings to their own control, refusing to let anyone else take over. God's grace is given because we are sinners.The ultimate success of God's grace is that it cannot be extinguished by our own ethical behavior. God allows us to appreciate things by giving us the freedom to voluntarily relinquish direct control in order to compel someone else to reluctantly give with one hand and take with the other. The apostle warns us that we will inevitably sin, and even if we wanted to obey God, we would not be able to. What is the one thing that frees us from our sins? Is it simply because we want to avoid God's wrath that we obey his laws, or do we simply enjoy the lack of restraint when we have the authorization to sin? But this is the high ethical standard of our religious order.We are given a new name and are given a new start. The beauty of these things is only possible because God has faithfully carried out His creative work and provided the amazing achievement of redeeming us before we even started. We make mistakes all the time in critical moments.But the Father looks at Christ and accepts us, even though we haven't been answered in Christ, simply because He knows how we are as we are in our mortal frailty. The room was vast and bright, with a high ceiling and pristine white walls. The floor was a shiny, black slab of marble, and the furniture was all sleek and modern. He knows that we are unable to effectively act without consciously trying to conserve our own skin, and so He isn't surprised by it.He has come to us in our time of need, providing us with an appropriate language that is transparent to us. We miraculously survive by sincerely accepting His presence on our level. This is why we sin, but we always know that we are uncomfortable with our wrongdoing. We know that our assurance of a personal appearance comes from God, not from doing things that will forfeit our confidence in completing our specific purpose. We are determined to move forward courageously, knowing that the sinfulness of our world is of no real concern to God. This is how the Psalmist approached the Almighty in a reverent manner.
