God’s wisdom exists in a realm beyond all human understanding and limitations, an eternal and unchanging decree that is untouched by our practical concerns or fleeting needs. In this divine realm, what appears to be expedient or convenient is constantly reshaped by the shifting demands of time and circumstance. Human ways are always measured by finite standards—trying to balance gains and losses, repayment and restitution—yet these are merely shadows or reflections cast upon a deeper, more profound truth that belongs solely to God's eternal purpose (Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:8–9). The Sovereign Lord, seated in inaccessible light, is not a distant or impersonal judge but a loving Father whose decisions flow from deep paternal love and mercy (1 Timothy 6:16; Romans 8:15). This presents a profound mystery: the curses embedded within the law, symbols of cosmic rupture and brokenness, are woven together with the blessings of divine grace. These elements form a divine unity where judgment and mercy are not opposed but are intertwined—each revealing facets of God's perfect justice and compassion (Deuteronomy 28; Galatians 3:13–14). God embodies a paradox: He is the fire of perfect righteousness that purifies and refines, yet also the endless love that heals, restores, and brings wholeness (Hebrews 12:29; 1 John 4:8). At the very foundation of existence is a relationship rooted in holiness and love, where divine life flows from this divine unity. The fractures and divisions in human relationships—those deep wounds and broken bonds that mar the fabric of shared life—are only truly healed through God's final word, His divine verdict that reaches into the very core of our being. In God's counsel, every intention, every word, and every secret motive is fully scrutinized, unraveling the tangled web of cause and effect that governs human history (Matthew 12:36; Hebrews 4:13). God separates Himself from all human institutions—structures, hierarchies, and authorities—that claim to hold ultimate truth or power (Isaiah 2:22; Jeremiah 17:5–8). No human effort or achievement can establish true spiritual unity; such attempts are contaminated by the curse and resemble a profane act akin to grasping death itself—actions that corrupt the soul’s original purity and alienate it from the divine source of life. Therefore, the language of modern psychology—terms like resolution, shame, guilt, rejection, wounds, and addiction—conceals a deeper spiritual debt, an ontological cost paid in God's sight. This debt is rooted in the individual's alignment or misalignment with God's true nature, especially within complex human relationships. Every moment in life carries a divine legal dimension—transcending human laws—anchored in eternal principles that remain constant regardless of changing circumstances (Psalm 119:89; Matthew 5:18). Human relationships may seem to bring peace through negotiation, emotional release, or superficial reconciliation, but these are only illusions. God's scrutiny exposes every hidden motive, shadowed impulse, and underlying thought, revealing how fragile and illusory self-made peace truly is (Jeremiah 17:9–10; Romans 8:7). Genuine reconciliation—the healing and restoration of fractured existence—can only be found through divine counsel, in moments of solitude before God's divine verdict (Psalm 33:11; Proverbs 19:21). All human institutions and structures, no matter how seemingly solid or enduring, are mere copies or shadows of a greater divine reality—they cannot provide true unity or peace, which only exists within God's divine order. Human affections and pursuits are caught between chaos and purpose, depending on our recognition and submission to God's authority. When we acknowledge God's legal sovereignty against what violates the sacred order, our lives find true direction (Psalm 119:104; Romans 7:12). The soul remains in a perpetual state of imbalance and division as long as it ignores the divine curse placed upon wrongful paths—paths that lead away from life and into destruction (Psalm 119:21, 128). Ignoring this truth is akin to discarding the divine inheritance—the privilege of being called children of God—for fleeting pleasures, much like Esau trading his birthright for a momentary meal (Genesis 25:29–34; Hebrews 12:16). This danger persists even within Christian liberalism, where the divine plan risks being reduced to human debate, blending divine judgment with psychological healing, condemnation with cultural adaptation, and grace with emotional stability. Such distortions threaten to shallow the gospel, turning it into a superficial horizontal peace that neglects the vertical, sacrificial reality of Christ’s cross. Yet, Scripture firmly rejects this reduction. Every word I write is rooted in divine revelation; only within God's eternal counsel can the deepest contradictions find their true resolution: the condemned and broken self is transformed through Christ, and the cursed journey becomes a path of blessing and redemption (Romans 5:18–19; Ephesians 1:3–6). True resolution is not merely discussed or negotiated but is decreed from eternity itself. In that divine decree—where love's infinite mercy and justice's perfect judgment meet—the broken and sinful self is restored, false paths are destroyed, and the soul is lifted into the fullness of divine life. In this divine union, all things are made one in Christ, the divine Logos, who holds creation together (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 6:17–18).
