Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Chesed I'm sorry I posted this to myself instead of you. I will try again. From all indications in the Bible David died with his sin atoned for. If Hebrews 9:22 is correct then we must believe David did in fact offer a sin sacrifice and thus obtained his atonement. You say he gained atonement only through God's grace. If that were possible/true then the death of Jesus would have been in vain and unneeded. God could have just poured out His grace for all of us and it would have been sufficient. However God had established the only way for a sin to be atoned for was through the shedding of Blood. The shedding of animal blood only covered a year. It wasn't until Jesus the perfect and eternal Lamb of God sacrificed his myself and His blood was shed that we have eternal salvation. EdB |
