Bible Question (short): Before Jesus, were people saved? |
Question (full): I dont know much about the bible, maybe that's why im so confused! But here is my question, I know that Jesus died for our sins and that we need to accept him as our savior to enter Heaven. But what about all the people before His time, were they saved? And how where they if they still had their sins on their souls. I believe that i do need to accept him and i do, I just dont understand about before him and why did God decide to send him down to earth to die for our sins? Why was it necessary? What needed to change? Was all these souls going to hell and God wanted to do something about it? |
