The covenant that God made with His people is a love covenant. Since there are never a time when God does not do as He pleases, so that He doesnt need a vote to accomplish His will. Even in the societies of men in the covenants in a collective sense the requirements of a covenant being worked out are determined by Gods faithfulness and not mans willing. Because Gods requirements in society are never kept since the positive aspects of obedience are not fulfilled by one willing the covenant to be kept in the love of men in that covenant community. Thats why God made stipulations in the covenant requirements in order for men not to be burdened with with the same requirements in relation to the different gifts of other man. So that Gods faithfulness is displayed in the understanding that God controls all of these different paradigms of man falling short of meeting the requirements of love by His secret counsels. So He has determined for us to live by faith, so that we will have a unity of purpose in these unfulfilled positive requirements.

In every society , God does rule through these second causes, but His rule is through the second causes in spite of the unfulfilled part of this covenant faithfulness of man. Since God weights the heart and the direction of the desires to fulfill the covenant, by a trust in a righteousness that is not natural or normal to the community of the justice of man. So that the way a man thinks about His particular reality of being connected to Christ, is the mark of His covenant faithfulness, even tho, in the community of covenant breakers, He is seen as falling short of his own faithfulness. With out sin , there would be no need of Christ. Without Christ there would be no hope of covenant faithfulness. So that our faithfulness is never rite by our own ability. We are made to depend on God , since we do not do as we are required in love. In order for there to be a perfect community of covenant keepers , then there must be a meeting of the requirement for all men to love God with all of their hearts and minds and strength. No man has fulfilled these requirements. So we depend upon these different stipulations of grace in community in order for us to keep each person from being judged by another covenant breaker. 2008
