Bible Note: Hello KcabmI4, You stated: "Where is it saying these peoples of the Old Testiment 'they were saved by the grace of God' meaning Salvation. Salvation is through faith Christ Jesus. According to the Scripture. The people in the Old Testiment were not saved as we know salvation." 1. Abraham was counted righteous because he believed (Genesis 15:6b). Paul says that Christians receive salvation for the same reason as Abraham (Romans 4:1-12). 2. Abraham believed in God's word (Genesis 15:6a). Paul says that Christians receive salvation for the same reason as Abraham (Romans 10:5-17). 2. The righteous man lives by faith (Habakkuk 2:4). Paul agrees it is the same for Christians (Romans 1:16-17). So you see, salvation is a result of faith from beginning to end according to what God had revealed. That being the case, the only possible difference between Abraham and us is that the Lord Jesus fulfilled all that the Law required for an atoning sacrifice. We believe on that finished work rather than believing on the works of the Law. Steve |
