Ps 33 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love".
Gods value of salvation is measured by a different standard than the value that man places on His creation. Man places value in this world by the working principle. But God places the true value of all His creation by the beauty and the love that He has for Himself. No man can share His glory.
God must establish His salvation through the perfect standard of righteousness and justice. He cannot accept work that is performed that is lesser than His perfect standard. So God works beyond the supply and demand system of this world. In fact God must reorder all of mans work. God does this through the standard that He alone has accomplished by His word. Gods word is the only standard that is acceptable to God that orders our salvation. Because we are saved according to the standard of Gods word that was made acceptable by Gods work then the earth is filled with His unfailing love!
Our hope is based not upon our ability to meet the standard of Gods righteousness and justice but upon the true performance of Christ work. So we do not believe in a salvation that could be ours in the future but we believe in a perfect salvation that is ours because of Christ. We live in a kingdom in which we are surrounded and bathed in Gods unfailing love.
Why do we put our hope in the system of this world where the value of things and people are measured by mans false standard? Because we think the end our work brings us acceptability and value according to Gods standard. But God owns all things and He gives them freely. If God did not give us all things freely then there would be no existence of His unfailing love. God would not be our Father but He would be our judge who held us to His standard of righteousness and justice. But God has obtained a salvation that brings us to the Father that has no barriers. His elect are loved according to the love and success that God accomplishes for His own pleasure. When we are saved He opens His arms wide and provides all things for our good. The earth is filled with His unfailing love!
