Subject: How were non Jews saved B.C.? |
Bible Note: People in the OT were saved by faith and grace the same way as in the New Testament. The writer of Hebrews tells us that Abraham's faith was accounted to him as righteousness. The fullness of God's grace was not revealed until the death of Christ on the cross, but grace was still in place in the Old Testament and was revealed in the Law. |
