Awaken Biblical Prophecy Commentary – Difference & Similarity: OT Righteousness vs NT Salvation

3 days ago

What is the correlation between Old Testament righteousness and New Testament salvation? There is one primary difference between the two. Before Jesus, a righteous person could have the Holy Spirit descend upon him. After Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us. The Biblical text doesn’t tell us whether or not every righteous person had the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The absence of this detail doesn’t necessarily mean the Holy Spirit did or didn’t come upon such a person. In addition, I don’t know if that actually makes a difference in how the Old Testament discusses righteousness in those times. This is one of the unknowns in Scripture.
