AboutKendra Perry Expertise I have been a Seventh-day Adventist all my life, and attended SDA schools growing up. I am now married to an SDA pastor. I can answer questions on SDA history, beliefs, culture, and trivia.
Question christians say that in Jesus they have salvation.after His resurrection, billions of people have been converted. however a vast majority of humanity before Jesus's time never knew Him.at judgmentdaymn84 what'll happen to them?
Answer From the very beginning of sin, God promised that He would send a Savior to solve the sin problem (see Genesis 3:15). From the time of Adam and Eve down to the time of Christ, God's followers sacrificed lambs and other animals as a symbol of Christ's atoning sacrifice.
Although people who lived before Jesus are not able to have faith in him as an historical figure, they did have the opportunity to believe and demonstrate their faith in God's promise of a coming Redeemer.
Genesis 15:6 says that "Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness." So people who lived before Christ are saved by faith just like those who lived after his lifetime.
See also Romans 4 and Galatians 3.
Hope this helps answer your question! Please let me know if you need any additional information.
