Bible Question:
We belive in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our Saviour. We understand, only through Him we have access to our God.God demonstrates His love towards us while we were yet sinners.This happened 2000 years before.Humen kind has near about 5000 years history. My doubt is people lived betwwen this period,how they get access to God.In that period also lot of people belived in God,and they were strong belivers also.In that period Jesus was not known to anyone.Only prophecy was existing. We understand that only through our Saviour we have access to God.Now also lot of people beliving in God without Jesus, like before Jesus enter in this world . New testement clearly says, Jesus is our saviour and without him no one has access to God and salvation comes thorough Him only.My question is belivers lived in Old testement period, how they get salvation. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Greetings William - all men are saved from the wrath of God against sin when they are declared righteous - or without sin - by God. All men are justified or declared righteous by God in the SAME manner, BY God's Grace through faith (Eph 2:8) - read all of Hebrews 11. Men of old gained God's approval just like we do - they believed God and it was credited to them as righteousness - they were declared "not guilty" of sin. Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise of God - imo, it is much easier to believe God because of Jesus than it was when there were only promises. Believe in God, believe also in Me (John 14:1) said Jesus - One and the same with the Father. One Lord over all from the Old Testament to the present. Blessings, mommapbs Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear. Is 59:1 |
