What does the Bible say about expecting the Savior?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all Old Testament saints lived in anticipation of the coming Messiah, who would save his people.

The expectation of the Savior is a central theme in Scripture. From the moment of Adam's fall, God promised a Redeemer, as seen in Genesis 3:15. Throughout the Old Testament, believers awaited the coming Messiah, relying on God's promises spread across various prophecies and typologies. The prophets, such as Isaiah and Micah, provided insight into His coming, underscoring that salvation has always been through God's free grace rather than legalistic adherence to the law. The anticipation of the Messiah unites the entire narrative of the Old Testament, culminating in the arrival of Christ, who fully embodied these promises.
