1 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 3:18 | Lisa G | 138500 | ||
Where is the scripture that makes reference as Jesus appearing to those who died before his death to give them the opportunity to receive him? I remember reading it in the bible not long ago and I am unable to find it now. Based on that scripture, I believe (or hope) those who have died before hearing about Jesus, including babies, may have the opportunity to receive Him before judgement. Any thoughts? |

1 Peter 3:18-19 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, Many believe 1 Peter 3:18 and 19 is exactly what your talking about that Jesus went to Abraham's bosom and preached the "Good News" Ephesians 4:8 seems to indicate He was successful as Jesus then lead captivity (the dead awaiting redeemption by their Messiah) captive (Bondservants bought with a price Jesus' own blood)to heaven. |

Thanks for all the great responses! I was specifically looking for I Peter 3:18. I know that those who trust in God before Jesus came went to heaven, I was focusing on those who did not trust for whatever reason, but between the time Christ died and rose the "scripture makes reference to he went to preasched to the spirits in prison". I was just thinking of those who currently have not heard because no one has made it to witness to them. |

Lisa, If someone has not heard it is because they have not asked God (i.e. they are not seeking). AO |
