 The question of whether God curses people for using the law incorrectly is a moral one. If those of us who have been delivered from corruption are subject to being cursed, then it would stand to reason that those who are still unsaved and corrupt are as well. However, the answer is that redeemed people and unsaved people share the same condition of corruption, but we live in two separate kingdoms. When Christ came in the incarnation, He not only took our place but He also secured the possession of all valuable things. As a result, while both the redeemed and the unsaved are corrupt, only the latter are subject to God's curse.When we are redeemed, we enter into a kingdom in which we receive an inheritance of all that Christ has obtained. Therefore, the Psalms are not just our personal pronouncements, but rather extend to the farthest reaches of the earth.As a result of God's actions, it is clear that He considers us to be valuable by giving us back control of the earth. This is shown by the fact that He has made pronouncements about this to all people. If God has demonstrated His love and faithfulness through His sacrifice on the cross, then we who have been chosen by Him are given the responsibility of taking care of the earth.We live in a spiritual kingdom ruled by the Father, in which He is our Judge. The Judge punishes our sins by looking at us through the work of Christ, which has been fully completed. In this kingdom, we are still accountable for any ongoing sin. However, we have a valid argument that prevents us from returning to our life in bondage to sin. The question is who is more guilty before the Judge: the person who is responsible for all their sins, or the person who has a Substitute to suffer their punishment?The individual who is likely to fare worse in the afterlife is the one who has not paid for their sins. In the new kingdom, we will be unable to return to our previous state of being enslaved to sin. This is because each time we sin, God will see us and realize that the people in the other kingdom are worse off.143 3Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you." It could be argued that God is not dealing with us based on our individual sinfulness, but rather on our potential for success. If we focus on our accomplishments instead of our failures, we can make our efforts to resist sin less important. This is because we can argue that if there was someone in the other kingdom who was better than us, they would be the ones being judged. God knows all of our determined opposition is relentlessly focused on our moral destruction by pointing triumphantly at our sin.The people in question are not conscious of the part their own behavior has played in causing their problem. In contrast, we are very aware of our status as sinners. This information has liberated us from depending on our own abilities and has kept us from surrendering to the issue of self-righteousness. Instead, we now curse the destructive powers that cause destruction on purpose. The more we do this, the more we are surrounded by God's divine security and the more we become a thorn in the side of those who take pride in their salvageable belongings.14312In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
