Bible Question: can a jew in the old testament go to heaven |
Bible Answer: Eph 4:8 gives us some insight on this. Ephesians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men." We know Jesus went to the holding place of the dead. 1 Peter 3:19 (KJV) 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1 Peter 4:6 (NASB) 6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God. Remember the righteous dead of the Old Testament were in Abraham's bosom not because of their righteous acts but because they realized they were sinners in need of a Messiah. They had waited for the Messiah all their lives. |
