Christians: What does Psalm 119 mean to you?

[wellwisher]

Psalm 119 is considered by Jews to be a psalm entirely about the love of Torah, that is, the divine law. Clearly the Psalmist, who some say is David (though it is anonymously written), was very much enthralled with the law of God. While not that many Jews may remember the entire chapter by heart, quite a few will recognize several verses, in particular those that were made into songs; songs about loving Torah. As the Torah as a book of law has essentially been nullified in Christianity, I'm therefore curious to know what meaning Christians place in this particular psalm.

God created the universe and life in six days and rested on the seventh day. That seventh day or the original Sabbath was when God was not actively working on his creation. God was resting and others were doing the work. Satan was in control working on the Sabbath as God rested.

Satan is associated with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is symbolic of law. Law is mediated by Satan. The tree of life was from God. But since God was not actively working during his sabbath rest, Satan was able to undermine Adam and Eve. Satan was then put in charge of the humans. He gave humans law of good and evil.

Satan in the old testament was no yet the Devil of Christianity. Satan, like law he was both good and evil at the same time. Good an evil sets a contrast with each other. If we have black paper and write on it with a light gray ink, the light gray ink can appear dingy white due to the contrast. Or if one used pure white paper even light gray ink may appear to be black. This contrast between good and evil, can make good and evil subjective based on one's collective and individual perception of good and evil.

A good example today is the Democrat run anarchy going on in some large American cities during this election year. The anarchy creates a background ambiance like black paper. If someone was to rob you, but not hurt you; gray, this will look good or almost while, even though stealing is a sin.

In a safe place without anarchy, this white background will make stealing look darker eve of there is not violence. In terms of those in power, they can define themselves as the good and then define anything opposite, no matter how light gray, as evil. This allowed the Democrats to spy on Trump and feel righteous. Psalms 119, sets the background ambiance of pure light, which can have an impact on the perception of good and evil. Mild evil can look much worse that it is.

Jesus did away with law, which ended the polarization games of good and evil that had been established by Satan. It was no longer yes and not, but yes in him; God, through faith. We become like the natural animal whose actions are all sanctioned by God; tree of life.
