These promises are indeed wonderful and worthy of our attention, but they were merely a shadow of things to come. They need to be viewed through the lens of the NEW Covenant, where their fulfillment is even more powerful. The Old Testament is about a VISITATION relationship with God. Jesus' life and death fulfilled the terms of the Mosaic Covenant. His resurrection introduced the NEW and better Covenant (Heb 8:6). We live in a HABITATION Covenant - Father put Jesus in me and put me into Jesus! We are new creations; the old man is dead (Rom 6). In Christ, we were given "us all things that pertain to life and godliness." (2Pet 1:3) The Holy Spirit teaches us to abide in Jesus so that we can "grow up into Him in ALL things, which is the head, even Christ" (Eph 4:15).
