When I think about God and His salvation plan, I always wondered about people in the OT, how they could be saved. Reading through the NT I figured out that they were saved “on credit”. When Jesus died on the cross, He opened up the gates of Heaven for all who believed, believe, and will believe. In other words He saved those in the past by credit, what God was going to do in the future. He saved all who were still alive and would be born by debit, what He already did. Here in Psalm 41 we get a glimpse of David’s knowledge of this in verse 12. David says, “You have brought me into Your presence forever”. How could he have known this? Walking with God brings blessings beyond most people’s comprehension. And it’s only revealed to those that truly pursue God. David had this, and so can you and me, if we pursue God with all of our hearts. It’s why God tells us it the greatest of His commandments. Everything hinges up it.
12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent; You have brought me into Your presence forever.
Psalms 41:12
