If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
Psalm 89 is valuable to study because it recounts God's rich blessings to His people alongside their poor response to those benefits. To forsake His law and not walk in His judgments is to reject His judgments, break His statutes, and fail to keep His commandments, and that course is transgression and iniquity. Those formed in His image are required to conform to His character, and His children are accountable to obey Him in His law, judgments, statutes, and commandments.
When His children disobey, He disciplines, corrects, and punishes them for their transgression and iniquity. Their wrongdoing brings correction, yet even in correction He does not take His lovingkindness from them or fail in His faithfulness. This warning expresses His moral government and calls people to obedience to His law.
The same warning refutes the claim that His commandments were abolished at Christ's death, for such teaching does not come from God, and disobedience to His law still brings consequences. It calls parents, ministers, and physicians to conform to Christ's character and be faithful in their work.
