In order to truly honor and elevate God, it is essential that we grasp the immense magnitude of His love. Sin should not be viewed merely as a transgression against God's character, but rather as a grievous offense that is likened to a capital crime in the Bible. This is why the story of David and Psalm 51 is presented to us, as it serves to emphasize the gravity of sin. While there may be varying degrees of wickedness in different sins committed on this earth, every sin, when examined by God, is seen as an attempt to silence Him indefinitely. We must recognize that God perceives the harm caused by sin in a manner that surpasses our human comprehension. In God's evaluation, every sin is akin to extinguishing a person's existence. The consequences of such violations between individuals are immeasurable, and there is no remedy for the damage inflicted by living amidst sinners. Each sin is committed intentionally and with pleasure. Although we may like to think of sin as something inexplicable, unintentionally causing harm, God holds a different standard. This is why God cannot permit a person to atone for their own sins, as the violation that leads to harm is determined by God's examination of one's heart. This is precisely why God must come to man. He must provide us with everything necessary to achieve genuine blessedness, as there are countless hidden implications in human actions that only God can perceive. I believe this is what the apostle meant when he spoke of bringing all men before God, rendering them speechless. In other words, there is nothing mankind can do to rectify the evils and destruction they have brought upon themselves. The apostle suggests that all individuals are on the brink of being cursed were it not for God's grace. It is of utmost importance for us to comprehend the severity of violating God's law in order to discover a sense of innocence and tranquility. By doing so, we will increasingly recognize the true value of the grace that God has bestowed upon us through His love. It is not merely grace to establish our own path, but rather grace as the sole protection we have against the devastating effects of sin in society. God's love for us is so profound that He desires to subdue our inherent need for destruction and provide us with everything we require. Now, let us delve into God's sovereignty in relation to the cesspool of sin and its murderous nature. It is unwise to observe the happenings of this world and make judgments regarding their impact on society without fully comprehending the enormity of the evil even in the smallest sin. Man is prone to creating hypocrisy as a form of art, thus it is crucial for us to understand that God has complete control over the extent of harm that occurs in this world, and He allows these consequences to pass from one person to another. The reality is that the violation of God's law is far graver than any payment can absolve, and the individuals involved in the transgression cannot be released from the destruction it has caused. We must acknowledge that, in God's perspective, a violation of His law warrants a curse upon the transgressor, without which we cannot truly grasp the nature of a blessing.
