Throughout history, salvation has consistently been attained through the intervention of Christ. The individuals recognized as saints in the Old Testament were saved in the same manner as the saints in the New Testament. This is evident in the Psalms, where the author draws a parallel between the sacraments of the Old Testament and God's covenant love, emphasizing the superiority of the latter. The confidence of the Old Testament saints was solely rooted in their approach to God based on His covenant love. Despite the regularity of their engagement in sacrifices and offerings, they comprehended the insignificance of these acts in light of the profound and everlasting salvation bestowed upon them.When we possess a correct understanding of salvation, we appreciate the significance of God's actions in His commitment to fulfill His salvation towards us. The entirety of God's actions are elucidated in the Old Testament narratives depicting the lives of the faithful individuals. By transcending the mundane rituals and economic aspects of the Old Testament ceremonial law, we are able to grasp the extraordinary miracles that God performed in His deliverance of Israel from their adversaries. Consequently, we find immense joy in these narratives, as they serve as a testament to God's redemptive narrative.
