About this episode

This episode explores how people were saved before Jesus' crucifixion and the continuity of God's plan of salvation throughout the Old Testament.

Before Jesus was born, how were people saved? Did Abraham, Moses, David, and the other faithful men and women of the Old Testament go to heaven another way? In this episode, we explore one of the Bible's most important questions and discover that God has always had one plan of salvation. From Abraham's faith to the sacrificial system, every page of the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ. Learn why the cross didn't just save those who came after Christ—it also secured the salvation of those who trusted God's promises before He came.
