A Startling Realization

God the Father is not bound by His commandments for His creatures, just as He is not bound by the physical laws of His creation.

Stop and think about the implications of that.

When He says that He is a jealous God (Exodus 20:4), it is His divine prerogative.

Here are some tougher pills to swallow:
“Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated” (Romans 9:13) and “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” (Romans 9:15)

The commands God has set up for His Creation simply do not bind the Creator.

Discuss.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

In church recently, Matt has been emphasizing that Jesus did not just take on our sin, He became sin. What is the distinction? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
