Bible Question: Since Jesus didn't die for our sins til the New Testament, How did the people of the Old Testament go to heaven? Since all have sinned... Example was it possible that Adam and Eve to go to heaven? |
Bible Answer: Jesus said: "No one has ascended into heaven." (John 3:13) Acts 2:34 says: "It was not David who ascended into heaven." Colossians 1:18 says: "[Jesus] is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything." "The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place [heaven] has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, which is a symbol for the present time. We have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh." (Hebrews 9:8, 24; 10:19, 20) |
