Just a thought

I am convinced that King David (of the old testament) had a grasp of salvation. Why do I think this? If you read about his life and read his psalms, it's obvious that he knew of God's grace, and of His power. No one in their right mind would have eaten the shewbread from the table in the Temple without first having a revelation of heavenly sonship (the shewbread- 1 Samuel 21:6; sonship- "For we are joint heirs with Christ..." Romans 8:17), and certainly not without some sense of God's grace and mercy. David knew he was imperfect, yet he was bold to come to the Lord with anything that was on his heart. The battles he fought were not merely physical battles- when he played the harp for Saul, he was fighting a spiritual battle. How is this all possible? Let's think about this verse: "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation 13:8) God is outside of time.

David is one of my heros.
