What does 2 Samuel 8 reveal about what God the Son does in my place and on my behalf?
Jesus Christ is the king who perfectly obeys God’s law and defeats the forces of evil so that I can look forward to life in God’s presence, rest in the new creation. The way in which he defeated evil was to give his life on the cross to pay the penalty for sin that I deserve (death). As a result, Satan can no longer accuse the people of God because their debt has been paid.
