FAQs Mondays: How Did God's People Get Saved Before Jesus Came?

Last week, we answered the question, "Who will be saved?". You can read that post here. Today, we will seek to answer the questions, "How did God's people get saved before Jesus came?".

How were godly persons saved before the coming of Christ?

They believed in the Savior to come.

How did they show their faith?

By offering sacrifices on God's altar.

What did these sacrifices represent? 

Christ, the Lamb of God, who was to die for sinners.

Through the catechism, we learn that God's people were saved by trusting in the coming Christ. The looked for a Savior from heaven. They trusted God's great promises. Their faith was demonstrated by their actions.

Next week, we answer the question: What does Christ doe for his people? Feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.
