Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Chesed As for the Gentiles before Jesus they weren't saved. Melchizedek apparently was in relationship with God in ways we know nothing about much like Enoch. However from Adam through Abraham, David, Daniel and on up to the New Testament all old Testament saints will have gained salvation only in their belief of the coming Messiah. They all realized their righteousness was as filthy rags and they needed the perfect sacrifice to secure once and for all their salvation. The Gentiles are pagan and therefore not saved. EdB |
