 It is imperative to acknowledge that God is not akin to a child abuser, hence His continual interaction with His purchased possession is rooted in grace. The only mistreatment the saints encounter emanates from the adversaries of God. Consequently, God's chosen people consistently face numerous challenges. However, God assures His saints that He will supply their daily necessities, ensuring their protection, and perpetually renewing their spirits. The concept of cost or purchasing extends beyond Christ's act of purchasing the elect for their salvation. However, salvation also entails retribution for opposing redemption. God acquires His people as His personal possession, having predetermined to have a chosen group even before their birth, upon whom He bestows His love in a relational manner. In this relationship, God grants salvation to the purchased group, who in turn give Him utmost glory. Alongside salvation, God grants eternal life as a distinguished attribute for His people to relish, thereby exhibiting them as His exceptional individuals in the eyes of the world.These individuals who are considered saints, yet occasionally stumble, constantly deviate from the righteous path, and face ongoing opposition in this corrupt era, are in constant need of God's unwavering salvation. Consequently, God treats His saints with the same care and importance as He would treat His own Son, as He acquired His chosen ones through the sacrifice of His Son. These elect individuals require additional protection and deliverance. Fortunately, we have Christ as our advocate and the Holy Spirit as our comforter. The Holy Spirit accompanies us to shield us from harm and eliminate any obstacles that come our way. Our significant worth lies in our association with Christ, as we are represented by the name of the God of Jacob and are rooted in the lineage of David. To demonstrate the value of this acquisition, God must exhibit that He will hold the wicked accountable through the shedding of their blood. Every betrayer of God's kingdom is akin to a murderer, and any harm inflicted upon God's chosen ones will be avenged during the final reckoning against the wicked. The saints will metaphorically wade through the blood of tyrannical rulers, while God vindicates His name.God regards covenants with utmost gravity as their breach constitutes an act of treachery, tantamount to betraying one's relationship with Him. In my interpretation, the individual mentioned in Proverbs, who seeks but is unheard, is specifically referencing a covenant breaker bearing the burden of a hardened, internally conflicted heart. This passage elucidates the consequential manifestation of an unyielding disposition.
