The Imperative Is Grounding the Imperative
The imperative is grounded in the indicative. And without the indicative, there is no one. So I could talk about the indicative in terms of creation. There's a creational indicative. He made us and made us to be sons of God. That was his first son that he made to rule the earth and cultivate it. Then from that indicative, from what God has done with and for Adam and Eve, comes the imperative, be fruitful and multiply and cultivate the garden. In the same way now in the state of redemption, it is precisely because I have been ransomed from my wicked forefathers we are called to be holy as he is holy.
