The Eternal Law
Realized a new way of talking today? The Law describes who we are supposed to be or ought to be. In our fallen condition we are in a state of seeing the Law as we ought to be. When God created everything perfect Adam and Eve were as they were designed to be. This is the so called "is" state. The Law does not describe who they ought to be but who they "is".
But after the fall the Law describes who we ought to be or how we ought to act. Maybe even to take it to another level it describes who we are no longer. As fallen creatures we "is not" who we are supposed to be. We are in a fallen state.
Thus, when Christ returns the Law will once again describe who we "is". The will either describe us as completely sinners abandoned to Hell with the Devil. Or it will describe us as perfect being who we are supposed to be with God in the new creation.
Though I would not go so far to equate the "is" with being a saint and the "is not" with being a sinner. You can see how we "is" only because of God makes us who we are supposed to be, or ought to be. It is by grace alone we "is". Thank you.
