 A perpetual and immutable covenant of divine origin has been established by God with David and his descendants. This covenant has resulted in the genealogical continuation of Christ through the lineage of David. As adherents of the teachings of Christ, we are incorporated into the lineage of Israel, thereby granting us access to everlasting salvation. Embedded within this covenant, God has pledged unwavering fidelity, enduring forbearance, benevolence, tolerance, forgiveness, and everlasting affection towards us. Our feeling of encouragement is derived from the belief that God is inherently incapable of making mistakes. This belief in God's infallibility leads us to expect relief from all forms of suffering, distress, sorrow, and difficulty. Through the actions of Christ, the influence of the Devil has been eliminated and rendered ineffective. This triumph is credited to Christ's possession of complete power, which we ourselves have experienced through our salvation. As we continue on our journey towards liberation, we are confident in receiving this power of resurrection. This power can be compared to the extraordinary strength displayed by David during times of warfare, enabling him to conquer and subdue his adversaries. However, it is essential to acknowledge that it is ultimately God who holds the authority to pronounce judgment and enforce justice.Presently, we possess the capability to appeal for the intervention of God through the perspective of His infinite and eternal affection. This love becomes evident to us when we observe God's elevation as the utmost being. Consequently, we confront a force that surpasses our restricted comprehension and abilities. Instead of elevating us to a superior level of authority, God lowers Himself to a degree even inferior to our most agonizing experiences. In this process, He achieves victory over the suffering to which we have grown accustomed, and through Christ, completely eliminates its existence. Nonetheless, in our state of susceptibility, we can discover solace and serenity that surpasses the overpowering apprehension of the curse, owing to the humility exhibited by God in His covenant obligations. The perpetual presence of God within the covenant stands in stark contrast to our restricted authority confined within the earthly realm. Conversely, God's authority transcends temporal limitations and extends into the realm of eternity, surpassing any earthly dominions. Consequently, we possess legitimate possession over everything that Christ has conquered, and our just compensation awaits us in the imminent realm.
