When God spoke all things into creation, He did so without coercion. He acted freely and with satisfaction, pronouncing what He created as good. In doing so, He experienced the highest pleasure in His masterpiece. However, as creator, He reestablished His freedom in the recreation of His people. How is it that a free God is able to recreate His people? He does so by creating a garden for them and giving them rulership over His masterpiece. This is why, when sin entered the world, God had to reestablish His absolute authority by giving mankind eternal pronouncements. These pronouncements show that God is free because His word is reliable. The way of God is reestablished as all-glorious in these eternal pronouncements, which are absolute kingdom words that create reality. So, God's elect walk in the way of eternal powers as stewards of God's masterpiece. By satisfying Himself with saints, God shows that His word is the absolute way to covenant worthiness!The Psalms teach that salvation is a demonstration of God's eternal covenant promises. These promises are continually being fulfilled through deliverance until we are rewarded in eternity. We proclaim absolute terms of the eternal covenant, which is God's word of deliverance. We are pronouncing God's absolute control when He simply speaks our next deliverance.
