God has meticulously orchestrated every facet of creation within His grand design, a plan intended to redeem a chosen people for Himself. This plan seeks to rescue the saints from both internal struggles and external temptations posed by Satan and his minions, who continually attempt to lead humanity toward spiritual ruin and eternal condemnation. In response to this divine mission, it is our duty to actively participate in this cultural transformation by advocating for the liberation of all individuals. We achieve this through the powerful articulation of prophetic declarations that challenge and reorder societal structures, aligning them under the sovereign authority of the Divine King, as laid out in God’s eternal counsel. The notion of salvation is not limited to the personal experiences of individuals; rather, it embodies a sweeping transformation of culture as a whole. For those who are considered saints, grace transcends the idea of simply adopting a particular way of living; it signifies a fundamental shift in the prevailing norms and values of society. This transformation is driven by the authoritative decrees of the Divine. Such divine intervention aims to free the saints from various forms of opposition and struggle, as poignantly expressed in Psalm 35:1-3, where the psalmist passionately petitions the Lord to engage with adversaries, offer support, and affirm His position as the ultimate source of salvation and deliverance. In undertaking this critical work, we create a bridge between the celestial and terrestrial realms, effectively demonstrating the tangible reality of God's saving power in our lives. The Creator of the heavens and the earth reigns supreme, ensuring that no realm is ultimately governed by malevolent forces. Everything exists under the complete dominion of the Eternal Ruler, who consistently proclaims, “This is Mine.” Just as God is one-of-a-kind in His essence, His proclamations are unified, and His creations exhibit a remarkable coherence. We inhabit a world that operates under God's authority, progressing from one act of redemption to another, each revealing His divine purpose. The very essence of this world rightfully belongs to God, as underscored by the wisdom found in the Scriptures: “Unless the Lord is its architect, those who build it build in vain. Unless the Lord guards the city, those who watch watch in vain.” Furthermore, we are reminded of the blessings associated with family: “Children are a blessing from the Lord, a reward He grants. Sons and daughters born in one’s youth are like arrows in the hands of a warrior. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of these sons and daughters; for when they confront their adversaries in court, they will stand firm and unashamed.” In these verses, we see not only the significance of divine involvement in our lives but also the importance of community and familial bonds as integral components of God's overarching design for salvation and cultural transformation.
