Bible Texts:
In Old Testament
days, when living in faith and obedience, it was said that …
Galatians 3:6 KJV
Even as Abraham believed God, and it
was accounted to him for righteousness.
Psalm 32:1 KJV
Blessed is he whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is covered.
For Christians today we know....
I John 1:7,9 KJV
7 But if we walk in The Light, as He
is in The Light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
9 If we confess our sins, He is
Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
But there is more that must be said!
Revelation 13:8 KJV
And all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship Him, whose names are not written in the book of life of
The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
In this truth, we see that God's Son, in every sense, died for
faithful believers from O. T. days as well as all souls after
Calvary. Is the atonement of our Savior retroactive?
Absolutely!
Romans 3:24,25
CEV
25-26 God sent
Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered His life’s blood, so
that by faith in Him we could come to God.
And God did
this to show that in the past (Days
of the Old Testament.) He was right to be patient
and forgive sinners. This also shows that God is right when He
accepts people who have faith in Jesus.
And again...
Hebrews 9:15 CEV
Christ died
to rescue those who had sinned and broken the old agreement
(Old
Testament-Covenant). Now He brings His chosen ones a
new agreement (New
Testament-Covenant) with its guarantee of God’s eternal
blessings!
At Calvary, Jesus died for the sins of Old Testament believers, and
New Testament believers! Truly He is …

18 Forasmuch as
ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver
and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers;
19 But with the
precious blood of Christ, as of A Lamb Without Blemish And Without
spot:
20 Who
verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was
manifest in these last times for you,
Revelation
7:8-12 KJV
9 After this I
beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all
nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before The Lamb, clothed with white robes, and
palms in their hands;
10 And cried
with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon
the throne, and unto The Lamb.
11 And all the
angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the
four beasts (four living creatures), and fell before the throne on
their faces, and worshiped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for
ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation
15:2-4 KJV
2 And I saw as
it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten
the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark,
and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having
the harps of God.
3 And they sing
the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of The Lamb,
saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King Of Saints.
4 Who shall not
fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are
made manifest.
