Kcabm14, the believers of the old testament believed God and it was counted to them as righteousness. (our word saved) Those of old looked forward to the cross. In these days we look back 2000 years to the cross. Both are saved by believing God and trusting that what He says is true. Our actions show our belief - Hebrews 11. The Holy Spirit was upon those in the old testament however it could also leave them. In the new testament the Holy Spirit dwells in believers permanently - Acts. John is right in his posts. The text about sinning in I John shows that people have a changed lifestyle they will not sin as a lifestyle, a practice of life. Since we are not in our glorified bodies which we will receive when we get to heaven, we still sin, unwillfully. When we confess our sins our Advocate Jesus Christ, forgives us our sin and cleanses us. This is our daily bath. What denomination or movement are you a part of? The gospel is first preached in Genesis to Adam and Eve when God told them a seed (Christ) would come. We are all, old testament and new testament people saved the same way. Believe and trust in God.

Hello to you Val You are saying alot of posts You are saying "the believers of the old testament believed God and it was counted to them as righteousness. (our word saved) Those of old looked forward to the cross." my answer These words are not the same meaning. The people of old might have looked forward to the Cross. But they were not having it . Or Jesus. So they were not SAVED as we are. RIGHTEOUSNESS: Source: ATS Bible Dictionary Rectitude, justice, holiness; an essential perfection of God’s character, Job 36:3; Isaiah 51:5-8; John 17:25; and of his administration, Genesis 18:25; Romans 3:21,22; 10:3. It is the wonder of grace that as the righteous guardian of the law, he can acquit the unrighteous. "The righteousness of Christ" includes his spotless holiness, his perfect obedience the law demands; and "the righteousness of faith" is that imputed to the sinner who believes in Christ. With reference to personal character, righteousness is used both for uprightness between man and man, and for true religion, Genesis 18:23; Leviticus 19:15; Isaiah 60:17; Romans 14:17; Ephesians 5:9. RIGHTEOUSNESS: Source: King James Dictionary 1. Purity of heart and rectitude of life; conformity of heart and life to the divine law. Righteousness, as used in Scripture and theology, in which it is chiefly used, is nearly equivalent to holiness, comprehending holy principles and affections of heart, and conformity of life to the divine law. It includes all we call justice, honesty and virtue, with holy affections; in short, it is true religion. 2. Applied to God, the perfection or holiness of his nature; exact rectitude; faithfulness. 3. The active and passive obedience of Christ, by which the law of God is fulfilled. Daniel 9. 4. Justice; equity between man and man. Luke 1. 5. The cause of our justification. The Lord our righteousness. Jer. 23. RIGHTEOUSNESS: Source: Easton's Bible Dictionary See Justification SALVATION: Source: ATS Bible Dictionary 1--- Means, strictly, deliverance; and so it is used of temporal deliverance, victory, in Genesis 14:13 1 Samuel 14:45. 2--- But as the spiritual deliverance from sin and death, through the Redeemer, Matthew 1:21, is a far greater salvation, 3--- so this word has come to be used mostly only in this moral and spiritual sense; and implies not only this deliverance, but also the consequences of it, namely, eternal life and happiness in the kingdom of our Lord, 2 Corinthians 7:10 Ephesians 1:13. 4--- It is most justly described as a "great salvation," Hebrews 2:3. 5--- The Hebrews rarely use concrete terms, as they are called, but often abstract terms. Thus, instead of saying, God saves them and protects them, they say, God is their salvation. 6--- So, a voice of salvation, tidings of salvation, the rock of salvation, the shield of salvation, a horn of salvation, a word of salvation, etc., are equivalent to a voice declaring deliverance; the joy that attends escape from a great danger; a rock where any one takes refuge, and is in safety; a buckler that secures from the attack of an enemy; a horn or ray of glory, of happiness and salvation, etc. 7--- Thus, to work great salvation in Israel signifies to deliver Israel from some imminent danger, to obtain a great victory over enemies. 8--- The "garments of salvation," Isaiah 61:10, refer to the splendid robes worn on festival days. The expression is used figuratively to denote the reception of a signal favor from God, such as deliverance from great danger. SALVATION: Source: Easton's Bible Dictionary This word is used of the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians (Exodus 14:13), and of deliverance generally from evil or danger. 1--- In the New Testament it is specially used with reference to the great deliverance from the guilt and the pollution of sin wrought out by Jesus Christ, "the great salvation" (Hebrews 2:3). (See REDEMPTION; REGENERATION .) Salvation: Source: King James Dictionary !--- N; L, (salvo) To save. 2--- The act of saving; preservation from destruction, danger or great calamity. 3--- Appropriately in theology, the redemption of man from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal death, and the conferring on him everlasting happiness. This is the great salvation. Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation. 2Cor. 7. 4--- Deliverance from enemies; victory. Ex. 14. 5--- Remission of sins, or saving graces. Luke 19. 6--- The author of man's salvation. Ps. 27. 7--- A term of praise or benediction. Rev. 19. I have made another part for you about Heb. 11 Your Brother KcabmI4 |
