So why did Jesus sacrifice work for those BEFORE He died? I’m glad you asked!
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Before Abraham, He is. From the FOUNDATION of the world He had already been slain. So every sacrifice was made effective by faith in HIM.
There is and NEVER will be another NAME or WAY to be saved. EVER.
In the OT Joshua wrote of a Sabbath-Rest coming:
Hebrews 4:8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
They had NO rest. Even the Sabbath pointed to Jesus. That’s why God spoke of ANOTHER day! That’s one for the Sabbath keepers to consider.
But how about Job? Was he saved by faith? Let’s find out!
Job 19:25-26 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
Notice Job says LIVES, not WILL live. God is his Redeemer. And HE will STAND on the Earth! Jesus anyone??? And Job says, I KNOW (I have faith) that after I am destroy I shall see God in my flesh!
Job was written before any other book in the OT. Genesis was written well after the book of Job!
I am baffled that anyone would say that FAITH was not the ONLY way people could and ARE saved. Baffled. And then to say it in such a way that OTHERS are not concerned with the TRUTH? May this idea never be spoken again. Jesus is and always will be the way to the Father. HE IS SALVATION. HIs name is SALVATION.
JESUS = God is Salvation.
JOSHUA = God is my Salvation.
HOSEA = God, save!
ISAIAH = God is Salvation, He is.

God, Jesus, IS Salvation.
Hopefully this post will forever settle it in the mind of those who call upon His Name.
