How Were People Saved in the Old Testament, Since Jesus Had Not Yet Come? - TeachingTheWord Ministries - Equipping the Scripture-Driven Church
This is what the Bible teaches. If you or your church teaches differently then their understanding of scripture has not been opened for God reveals this to us:
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
therefore if the TESTIMONY of JESUS is not key doctrine and you bow to anyone or anything else be it your prosperity, or your power to reign, or your spiritual gifts or that of your pastors, then you need to reexamine yourself and your motives.
All are saved by faith in JESUS CHRIST.
One covenant, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE Savior, ONE God.
One Savior, One Hope
New Testament saints look back with thanksgiving to Christ's atonement for our sins on the cross (Hebrews 13:20-21), just as Old Testament saints looked forward in hopeful anticipation of His propitiation for their sins (Isaiah 53) — and all look forward to the day when Christ shall come again.
Job, one of the oldest of the Old Testament saints, testified:
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
Jude gave this same assurance to New Testament saints:
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. (Jude 24-25)
