Problems in teaching obedience in the wrong context.

The great secret war that is going on in this world is describing righteousness outside of the context of the bible as opposed to teaching it according to how it is applied in the bible. Out of all the problems that I find in peoples teaching this is the number one problem. The wrong way to apply righteousness has been the cause of all the problems in this world. The great war with Satan is successful by our being able to put everything in the context of grace. When we live in grace we live in a city in which God has erected walls that cannot be penetrated. All the battles on this earth between nations have been waged in how we describe grace. Because the doctrine of grace is the cause of spiritual and political freedom.

The Psalmist is interchanging Gods unfailing love with His righteousness in His description of Gods kingdom. Gods unfailing love cannot be communicated unless it is upheld by His righteousness. The Psalms describe our relationship to the Trinity in the ot description of the presence of God. Gods presence was in the Tabernacle , in the light and fire that led Israel out of Egypt and into the promise land.You will find that this relationship is expressed in the metaphors of how God deals with us according to righteousness. This is why I can identify false teaching because Ive meditated on the details of these relationships its the fail safe way from being put back under the law. It has been so engrained in my experience that I consider the teaching of obedience and righteousness as the first point of argument in being an over-comer.

You will find that the Psalmist appeals to Gods righteousness as his protection the same way that he uses Gods law as his weapons to gain victory over Gods enemies. And in fact the fear of God is His success in the teaching of this relationship that He had with Israel as a fire by day and a light by night. He goes before us and consumes our foes on every side. You will also find that the Psalmist addresses the Holy Spirit not in the context of conviction but the agent who provides the level ground that Israel would take to get to the promise land. All of this miss understanding of the responsibilities of the Holy Spirit are introduced by legalist. The Holy Spirit is actually the person who goes out and establishes Gods righteousness by upholding Gods name in which we are successful by the Spirit being our go- between.

There is no one righteous...NO NOT ONE! But this Psalm is in the context of Gods position as the light and fire. And the purpose of the Psalm is not to describe us in a two line way. I mean as believers saved by grace we are separated unto God but as people who are being sanctified we are put in the universal teaching of NO NOT ONE. Actually the Psalm is written for the purpose of protecting Gods elect who are suffering the ravages of evil men. Men who eat my people like men eat bread. It is put not put in a private description of the christian life and the man who struggles with sin but its Gods description as a King who advances His people in His protection.

Let me give you the angle by which the Psalmist uses righteousness like the fire and light.

Ps 85 13 Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.This is an analogy of Christ who is the light and fire going out in front of Gods elect people and establishing righteousness not for Israel per say but for His own glory and for the enjoyment of His elect. I will come back to this.
