2 Samuel 6 foreshadows the New Testament by illustrating the need for Christ, who brings grace and obedience to God's law.
2 Samuel 6 connects to the New Testament by revealing the deeper truths about God's requirements and the need for grace through Christ. The moving of the Ark symbolizes the presence of God and the importance of carrying out His commands faithfully, which humanity fails to do. This points to the greater reality of Christ's coming as the ultimate fulfillment of the law, bringing grace and truth. In the New Testament, we see Jesus as the perfecter of our faith, who not only accomplished the fulfillment of the law but also offers us His righteousness freely, covering our inadequacies and enabling us to live justly before God.
