When David wrote these words, Jesus hadn't died on the cross yet. But here is David, all those years before Christ, with complete understanding, unafraid to approach God. David understood God's grace. David understood God's love.
It took me years to understand "Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness." How could Old Testament Saint's get credit for believing in Jesus when He hadn't died for our sins yet? But through their faith in God, because of their belief, because of their understanding of God's "abundant lovingkindness" they were able to experience that intimate, personal relationship we can so easily find today.
They knew God would provide a way. They trusted He would work it out. Because of God's abundant lovingkindness, the curtain in the temple was torn in two so that we can enter His house, so that we have access to His holy temple.
Psalm 5:7 NASB
7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
Blessings, Cecilia
