WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T HEAR THE GOSPEL? | D. OLUWAJOJU | FINDING ANSWERS

Описание: Salvation Before Christ

The question is whether people who died before Jesus came went to hell.
The speaker argues that the Gospel was preached in advance even in the Old Testament.
Examples are given:
Protoevangelion - Genesis 3:15 contained the first enactment of the Gospel to Adam and Eve, prophesying that the seed of the woman (Jesus) would crush the serpent's (devil's) head, though the serpent would bruise His heel (His death on the cross).
The Gospel was also spoken to Abraham with the promise that "in your seed shall all the nations of the world be blessed".
The speaker implies that those in the Old Testament who had faith in the proto-gospel (the future work of Christ) were saved.


Salvation before Christ has always been preached, even from Genesis, before Adam and Eve left the garden. Everything in the Old Testament, including the Law, the prophets, the sacrifices, and the priesthood, was pointing to Jesus.

Examples of the gospel being spoken in advance include:

Genesis 3:15 This was the first enactment of the gospel to Adam and Eve after the transgression. God spoke to the serpent (the devil) about the future: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. And he will—you will bruise his heel, but he will crush your head". This was a prophecy about Jesus, who would crush the head of the devil by defeating sin and death, and the devil would bruise Jesus's heel by causing him to die on the cross. Jesus ultimately won the victory.
Abraham's Seed The gospel was also spoken to Abraham when God promised, "In your seed shall all the nations of the world be blessed". Since Jesus came from the lineage of Abraham, the blessing of Abraham is the salvation brought by the blood of Jesus. God was preaching the gospel to Abraham way back in the Old Testament.
