The Psalmist is teaching that saints possess a unique understanding of sin and are blessed because of it. This understanding leads to a covenantal forgiveness from God that is not solely based on confessing our sins. Instead, it is rooted in God's unwavering love, which is grounded in His steadfastness to His covenant. He promises to fulfill His covenant by offering Himself to us when we deserve it. The godly individual willingly seeks God and His moral laws, covenants, curses, enabling bills, eternal rulings, and pledges. They do not seek extraordinary gifts, but instead seek God and receive the gifts that come with Him. To avoid sudden encounters with God, we must pray according to six principles. God privately communicates His covenant love to us and remains faithful to His eternal covenant through a blood bond. The righteous person speaks life or death in accordance with the eternal covenant. Our specific needs can only be met when God unites Himself with us and actively works to align our purposes. We encounter God when our fulfilled purpose aligns with our specific needs. God works through the eternal covenant to reorder everything and ensure our future security. The Psalmist emphasizes that God's covenant is revealed through divine revelation. The eternal covenant is a foundational principle that existed before the creation of the ideal world. It is interconnected with six principles that define the essence of humanity. The moral law brings about the eternal covenant, and God embraces us through action. The godly law not only sets ethical standards but also imparts moral value through divine grace. We affirm the righteousness of God's gifts by recognizing the proper alignment with His covenant conduct. God remains faithful to the eternal covenant through pronouncements of eternal life and death. Anything that is corrupted must be put to death. We acknowledge the renewal only when God's covenant meets the standard. When we say that God signs the covenant with His blood, we are referencing the evidence of His curse being manifested. The authoritative pronouncements of the eternal curse solidify the moral convictions of saints, affirming that God is true to His word and cannot violate His covenant. God's faithfulness is demonstrated through His precise manipulation of necessary effects. The order in which everything exists is a result of God's eternal counsel. If God did not courteously arrange necessary effects according to eternal rulings, then our actions and the actions of others would determine the circumstances of our lives. If anyone outside of God were to alter His rulings, we could not trust His covenant pronouncements. Without trust in the six principles, we would be unable to overcome the curse and would remain unaware of God's secret counsel. The reality is that God's rulings serve as proof that His covenant is the means by which we can truly know ourselves and God. We can sincerely trust the authoritative pronouncements to guide our self-reflection. However, in order to have a relationship with God, we must enter into a covenant with Him.
