Subject: How were ppl saved before Jesus came? |
Bible Note: Prayon, I have to strongly object to you answer! Heb 10:4 says, "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins." Jesus Christ's sacrifice is the source of ALL salvation, past, present and future. The blood sacrifces in the OT were only symbols of Christ's ultimate and true sacrifice! The book of Romans states that the sins in the past were 'passed over' until Christ came to clease from sin. (I don't have the reference now, but i'll find it and let you know ch and vs.) Hebrews 11:1-2 says, "For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony" Not by animal sacrifices. GOD bless!! chris |
