Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Chesed, Without duplicating what EdB and Tim have stated to you, the OT saints were saved the same way we are- by faith in Christ! Heb. 11:13 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." If that was not the case, how could Christ state in John 8:56, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Clearly, the forefathers (patriarchs) looked to Christ by faith. The truth of 1 Cor. 5:7 is applicable to both the OT and NT, "...we walk by faith, not sight". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
