Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Genesis 15-16

Highlight Verse:

“And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

If you ever wondered if people in the Old Testament could be redeemed by Jesus’s sacrifice, here’s your answer.

Think about that. People who have never heard the Name of Jesus can receive God’s forgiveness on the basis of their belief.

They may not have known the name of the Messiah, but they trusted in His coming and the redemption He would bring.

Mind you, that is not the same as all religions leading to heaven. Salvation comes through Jesus alone. More on that another day.

Does knowing that people in the Old Testament could receive God’s grace change your perspective on the Old Testament at all?
Who else in the Old Testament do you think trusted God for salvation by grace?
