Bible Question: will people be saved during tribulation? |
Bible Answer: Hi Bob, Welcome to the Forum. Throughout history from Adam onwards men and women have been saved in the same way, through faith in the God provided means of salvation. That is indeed the lesson of Hebrews 11. All come to God on the same basis, though faith. In the Old Testament they accepted God's offer of mercy through His covenants, responded to Him in faith, and trusted to Him for forgiveness through the shedding of blood, in circumcision and sacrifices. Today we accept God's offer of mercy through His covnenant offered in Jesus Christ, respond to Him in faith, and trust Him for forgiveness through the offering up of Jesus Christ by the shedding of blood on our behalf once and for all. Whatever the future holds that will be God's basis of salvation. He is the unchangeable One. There are of course those of us who believe that men and women are being saved out of great tribulation today through the blood of Christ, and have been for the 1900 years, and that that is what Revelation 7 teaches. But, however that may be, God's way of salvation through faith never changes, and men will be saved in that way right through to the end. Best wishes. |
