The question at hand pertains to whether Christ's dominion over all things, as outlined in the New Testament, necessitates believers to actively engage in his kingdom. It is crucial to ascertain whether there are concrete strategies provided by Christ to facilitate believers' participation in this spiritual realm. Historically, the concept of assurance of salvation was not contingent upon strict adherence to ceremonial laws within the old covenant. The saints of that era grappled with heightened burdens imposed by these laws, which were often applied unequally based on societal hierarchies. As a result, determining accountability for national judgments and exiles becomes a complex task. Ultimately, salvation has consistently been founded on the enduring paternal bond between God and His selected individuals.

The physical markers of circumcision, being born within the borders, having Jewish lineage, and participating in temple worship were not factors that influenced God's election. David, in his worship, emphasized his trust in God alone rather than placing importance on human connections or adherence to the law. Rather than relying on circumcision, obedience to sacrificial laws, and national identity for his assurance, David dismissed these earthly factors as insignificant compared to exalting God as the ultimate judge. To demonstrate his sincerity, David recognized that for God's eternal nature to be maintained, salvation must align with God's will, as He reigns from His eternal throne.

The central tenet of David's feeling of security is rooted in his personal experiences with warfare, which he uses to exemplify God's judgment of the righteous and the wicked. David finds comfort in times of success and adversity by comparing these moments to ascending peaks and descending valleys. His confidence is tied to his capacity to differentiate between blessings and curses in various situations. In the subsequent analysis, I will explore methods to develop a comparable sense of assurance in our own lives.
