A Personal Savior

1 Chronicles 15-19

In New Testament theology there is often talk of a personal savior, but rarely do we see this in the Old Testament. God's covenant in Exodus was with the people of Israel, even though Moses was the representative of the people. But here in 1 Chronicles, God's covenant really is a personal covenant with David. He is pleased with the condition of David's heart and covenants that he will keep the House of David on the throne of Israel. David was humbled by the gracious words of the Lord and knew that he had a personal savior... maybe not with the complete understanding of Paul, but he knew the one who saves just as surely.
