Bible Question: Except for Enoch, Elijah and Moses which are special cases, all the rest of the OT saints, when they died, went to a place called Abraham's Bosom sometimes called Paradise. They remained there until the resurrection of Christ and then were transported to heaven. After the resurrection, all the saved people now go directly to heaven. Is this correct? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, It was explained to me once that salvation begins with belief in Christ and repentance of sin. After the coming of the Christ, it's belief in his saving work on the cross. However, before the Christ, it was faithfulness to the Law and belief in the future work of the coming messiah. It still boiled down to faith and belief in Christ. The Old Testament prophets called for repentance time and time again, prophesied the saving work of the messiah, and taught the spiritual necessity of adhering to the Law. The Old Testament saints who rested in Abraham's Bosom were those who did such. Jalek |
