The Blessings of The Eternal Covenant of Grace are the same under both Administrations of the ONE Overall Eternal Covenant of Grace,
as we see in these wonderful verses regarding the First Old Testament Covenant and the Second New Testament Covenant of Grace.
Salvation and Redemption by Christ is the great blessing held forth and enjoyed
under the First Old Testament Covenant as under the Second New Testament Covenant of Grace,
#2Sa 23:5 Heb 9:15.
Justification by the Righteousness of Christ, which the Old Testament saints had knowledge of, and faith in, as well as the New,
#Isa 45:24,25 Ro 3:21-23.
Forgiveness of sin through Faith in Christ, all the prophets bore witness to; and the saints of old, as now,
had as comfortable an application of it, #Ps 32:1,5 Isa 43:25 Mic 7:18 Ac 10:43.
Regeneration, Spiritual Circumcision, and Sanctification, were what men were made partakers of under the First,
as under the Second Administration of the ONE Overall Eternal Covenant, #De 30:6 Php 3:3.
Eternal Life was made known in the writings of the Old Testament, as well as in those of the New;
and was believed, looked for, and expected by the saints of the former Administration, as of the latter Administration,
#Joh 5:39 Heb 11:10,16 Job 19:26,27.
In a word, they and we eat the same Spiritual Meat, and drink the same Spiritual Drink,
because they drank of that Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ, #1Co 10:3,4.
