1 | old testament salvation | Lev 18:25 | Lorraine | 140081 | ||
Thanks Pastor Glenn, Angel and Steve What about salvation pre Abraham? Pre Noah? Again, faith is credited as righteousness? Only Noah's family was considered righteous at the time of the flood? But there were others who were considered righteous prior to that generation that passed away, right? |

Scripture ... Heb 11:4-5, 32ff ................. There were at least two others before Noah. Abel learned from his parents, I think ... and since Abel probably was dead before Enoch was born, the issue of faith may have been passed down orally, or it was direct revelation or both). I think about Romans 1:18ff. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. |

Hi Searcher, Thank you for connecting Hebrews with Romans 1:18. I found Hebrew 10:38 to be a perfect match in comparing Scriptures. Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of (God) is revealed from [Or, by] faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith". 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in [Or, by] unrighteousness,..." We can compare/contrast 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous (Judge), will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing." Galatians 3:6, "Even so Abraham believed (God), and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham." Genesis 15:6, "Then he believed in the (Lord); and He reckoned it to him as righteousness." Romans 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in (Him) who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness." Romans 3:26, "for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that (He) might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Hebrews 10:37, "For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. 38 But (My) righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." From the heart, Ray |
