 The existence of the universe is evidence of God's orderly and symmetrical nature. All things were created because of God's goodness, but because of sin, the universe is under a curse of death. This curse manifests itself as disorder and destruction. However, God has chosen, through His grace alone, to bless humanity with all that He has created. He has given us everything He has made for us to enjoy. There is no destruction when God blesses humanity. Therefore, I do not believe that the mode of blessing is corrupted. This is why God's salvation cannot fail. We may experience the pain of death, but death itself no longer has the power to harm us.The word of God is perfect and all-encompassing. All things have been set in order through the word of God. This means that we have the perfect blueprint for renewal through the spoken word of God. The word goes beyond any pragmatic response to disorder and sets all things in order. We seek God through His perfect word. His word not only aligns all things, but it creates a new heart. The heart is corrupted, but the word is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword.The word of God brings together cursing and blessing, the absolute declaration of the law, and life and death. The word is like a sword that divides these things in an absolute sense. The word is truth and anything that opposes the word is a lie. God has created everything according to His word. Each word has a Trinitarian source and everything that exists is ordered by the word of God.The salvation of humanity is reserved for God alone and He has designed all things with this purpose in mind. The Father sent the Son to accomplish the perfect work of redemption from the disorder caused by sin. The Spirit was sent into the world to convict and reprove it. The Spirit also works to reorder everything in our lives. The Spirit who regenerates us also acts as our advocate. He takes the work of Christ, which is the perfect creation of our lives, and applies it to us. This is not about us being perfect, but rather the Spirit's perfect design. The Spirit makes our paths level.Or He removes the potential dangers that could threaten us. The dangers that we cannot see since we do not know the future. Our Father draws us to Himself through His love alone. The love of the Father is His promise to work everything for our good because He loves us according to who He is and has proven it by giving us the Spirit who applies the work of Christ to us. We view the perfect law of liberty, God loving us according to His definition of love.In this sense, everything is unified as we see God's recreation in light of His perfect goodness and symmetry evidenced in the created order. He could, if He so desired, remake us in actuality to our youth. But each of His words are the eternal existence of order, as if we were outside of time, having glimpses of our youth. His created word is a legal declaration of the absolute love of God, as He views us in our ultimate image. When we see God, we come to the experience of reality and mystery, which is the cutting straight between blessing and cursing, life and death. We experience something far greater of eternal life and experience something more awful in our viewing eternal death. In this view, we are being changed from glory to glory.
