The kingdom of obedience through unifying grace

When we are regenerated we are given the eternal life of God. God speaks life into us. This is what the bible calls a new creation. But Gods eternal spoken word is all one. In this sense God has ordained whatsoever comes to pass in His eternal counsel by His spoken word. God sees the beginning from the end in one view. So Gods eternal life that is implanted in our souls is unified as a new kingdom that dwells in us. This is why we believe the bible is like a chain that connects each word ....held together so that it cannot be separated. In this way one word is the spirit of all the words. If we are regenerated we receive the total of eternal life. I mean as God has simplified salvation so that we are not consumed.

But in order for regeneration to be given as a gift someone had to meet the requirements of the law. Because the consequences of sin is death. Someone had to live the standards of the law and die in place of those who are regenerated. If God has decreed whatsoever comes to pass then everything in our lives has been created by His word from eternity past. This means that Christ had to act in our place in obeying the law and doing the works of God as Someone who has already visited the steps we take before we take them. What people do not think about is how important it is to be free to act rather than just acting for acting sake.

This is what regeneration did for us.  Before we were regenerated we were obligated to sin and rebel because we were our own god. We were bound to the curse like someone who is locked up in chains. But when we are regenerated we become free to act. The reason is that Christ has met the requirements of the law as if ever action that we do is added up to meet the requirements of the law, because without Gods acceptance of Christ working for us we would be under the power of condemnation rather than acceptance. This is what it means to obey. Given freedom to choose and not having to be scrutinized to the point where we are always being accused. The apostle said that it was not I who do it but the grace of God in me. He is saying that he no longer is under the power of the curse so that the freedom that he experiences is what unifies his natural desires with Gods desires. The grace or freedom unifies His experience.
