41 Reality is not what it is in itself but what God says about it. With the appearance of the revelation of God in the world, existence is de-demonized and freed from its own character of being. It is filled with salvation and all creation is messianic. In other words all creation is broken into positive or negative signs of the coming kingdom. Creation is fulfilled with salvation and is therefore messianic, but this does not mean that in itself and as such reality is messianic in character.
Reality becomes messianic by the prophetic judgment over it.
43 Salvation in the present, in the modality of promise, is characterized by the tension that exists in the doctrine of justification. 44 Justification is to be understood as a synthetic, creative judgment of God. It is not an analytic judgment. In God's justifying judgment man and creation is what it is not in itself. In justification the guilt of man is reconciled.
