Ps 40 10 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me. Gods love is not dependent upon our goodness or worthiness." God never changes. He acts according to His law,covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. When we think on our own we make presumptions about God. God simply speaks and it is all renewed. We are always safe in His pronouncements of love and faithfulness.71 3Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. God never acts apart from His axioms. We can always be satisfied when we pronounce the axioms. Every day God blesses and curses. God brings down and lifts up.Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. God is present with us in Word and Spirit. We can always be confident that God will be with us. If God changed then could not trust His word. We can pronounce the kingdom of God.Gods pronouncements are the foundation of our strength. We must have the word of assurance. Because we are sinful and corrupted we cannot trust in our understanding. Our view of the world is faulty. We need to hide behind Gods pronouncements.Our Father sent the Son to do the work so that we could be adopted in His family. He has give us the Spirit so that we are able to pronounce His authority over all things. The Spirit applies the work of Christ who has legal rights and ownership of all things. The Word is in us Without the Spirit the covenant word would not be binding. Without the word we would not have a sure defense of the Spirit.When we bring Christ down to an example we distance the Spirit from the word. Christ was not an example. He spoke the pronouncements in order to heal and bless His elect on the earth. We are not secure by our ability we are secure by His pronouncements.Christ was set apart from all of the teachers and prophets of men. When He taught all things were created. Human teachers have no ability to speak things into existence. But in the incarnation Christ set the example by reordering everything on the earth by the pronouncements.If the law was lessened it would not be an impossible standard. If the standard is pragmatic then God would have no authority over life and death. Our identity in the death of Christ would a suggestion.The greater authority of the law the more we are confident of Christ authority If Christ who put all things in under His authority did not satisfy the law then we would not completely identified with Him. If He did not have the rights of ownership then He did not overturn the fall. We could not trust the laws justification of His inheritance.
