For the LORD is our judge;
the LORD is our lawgiver;
the LORD is our king; He will save us.
Americans have a judicial branch, a legislative branch, and an executive branch of their government. Power is distributed. Checks and balances are in place to protect sinful men from other sinful men. The system safeguards liberty from men bent toward slavery.
God the Father through Jesus Christ, His Son, by the power of His Holy Spirit judges perfectly in concert with His perfect Law from His perfect throne of His perfect reign over His perfect kingdom — and this is our salvation.
While a division of earthy power protects us, it cannot save us. Done well, it can uphold justice and protect life, but it must always borrow its capital from God in order to do so. It is powerful because it has received power.
God requires no checks or balances. He is all powerful and completely incorruptible. As such, He is our salvation. He leverages His power to save us. Absolute power does not Him corrupt even in the least. The indomitable God uses His power to serve, provide, protect, and deliver those who’ve used their limited powers to corrupt themselves.
