It is sometimes said that the Old Testament saints believed in Jesus to be saved. That is, they were looking FORWARD to Jesus and the cross as the means of their salvation. But is that accurate? However, saints have always been saved “by faith”, what was it that the Old Testament saints had to believe to be saved?
After Adam disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit, both his and his wife’s eyes were opened. What does that mean? And they sewed fig leaves to cover their nakedness. Why? Then, God Himself replaced the clothing they made for themselves with provisions that He Himself provided. Why?
n the call of Abraham we note three things: 1. It was a privilege to be called by God for the continuation of the Seed line. 2. He was commanded to be a blessing to others. 3. His election (being chosen — the Jewish people) was instrumental for the salvation of the Gentiles (all the families of the earth).
