Good singing.
Am I on ya? Good to see everyone here tonight.
While Lee has this thing.
So tall here to see you all tonight.
Wow.
I'm going to put some duct tape on that thing where he can't adjust it.
I think he doesn't on purpose.
Have you take your mama's a turn with me to Romans chapter 4? Romans chapter number 4 will begin reading in just a moment.
I want us to look at a question and through this question game, some knowledge of scripture and gain some understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
And the question that we looking at this evening is what was the Old Testament way of Salvation.
How were the Old Testament Saints saved?
And so I want to just spend some time looking at this just for a few moments and glean, some truths from scripture.
Let's pray, Our Father.
We thank you so much for for your love and your goodness to us.
We thank you Lord for the opportunity for us to come and to Just study your word and we thankful Lord.
That's that we have the freedom to do.
So.
We pray God for the services tonight and the prayer time to follow.
We pray Lord for the children and the youth.
I prayed for all these teachers Lord that they would be able to tell the Glorious gospel to those children.
father, we just Lift up Carol to you, Lord, right now.
She had to be rushed to the hospital.
I Lord, we pray God that you just comfort her and give her grace and strength.
We ask all these things in Christ name.
Amen.
For those of you who do not know Carol about an hour ago or so fail at her home and Cut her, I pretty pretty good.
Thankfully Bud Valor was there that he could call 911, but they are going to Probably keep her overnight probably but they are going to check her out at the Baptist hospital just to make sure that everything is okay.
She may have to have a few stitches.
But thankfully, it's not, it could be a lot worse.
So anyway, again, we're looking at the question, how were people saved during the time of the Old Testament.
It's really a great question because it can be
We can get confused on this question because we know that in the New Testament era and this current date day of Grace salvation comes by grace, through faith, faith in Christ, Jesus.
The Bible explicitly tells us that in the New Testament.
In John 1:12.
Also Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8, and 9, John 14:6.
Jesus said, I am the way, but before Christ, Going back to the Old Testament.
What was the way of Salvation if salvation is only found in Christ.
How were they who lived before Christ?
Say, what a common misconception about the Old Testament way of Salvation is that the Jews were saved by keeping the law.
That is the most common misconception that you will hear.
If you're asked, if you're asking someone how the Old Testament Saints saved, and they was how well they kept the law, they brought offerings and they brought her sacrifices and all those things.
And that they obeyed and because of those things they would that would be enough for them to be saved, but we know from scripture that that is not true.
You don't have to turn there, but Galatians 311 says.
Now it is evident that no one is Justified before God by the law.
No one is saved by the law for.
He goes on to say the righteous shall live by faith.
Well, you might stay in the hold on a second that just applied to the New Testament.
But Paul here is not just applying this to the New Testament.
You know, why?
Because Paul is quoting an Old Testament prophet habakkuk.
Where he says, the righteous shall live by faith until that's an Old Testament verse.
So even the prophet habakkuk said that salvation was by faith.
It was not by law.
Now what was the purpose of the law?
Why did God give us the law where Paul taught us that the purpose of the law was to serve as a Schoolmaster to us or as a tutor to us to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.
Also in Romans 3:20.
Paul makes the point that keeping the law.
Did not save either old or new testament Jews because he says, no one shall be declared righteous in his sight, by observing the law.
And so, we understand, then that the law was never intended to save anyone.
The law cannot save anyone.
The purpose of the law was to make us conscious conscious of seeing.
That's the purpose of the law and if you think about The law itself.
To us is really a Grace.
It is a Grace because without the law, we would not know that we're broken before God without the law.
We would not know that we do not measure up and that we'd desperately fall short.
And so even a law.
Is a type of Grace to Sinners because we are broken by the law.
If the Old Testament way of Salvation was not keeping the law, then how were people saved?
Again, we found the answer in Romans chapter 4, if you'll look there and Romans chapter 4. Paul makes it very, very clear.
That's the Old Testament way of salvation.
Was the same as the New Testament way of Salvation, which is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, Roman chapter 4 and verse number one says, What?
Then shall we say that Abraham.
Our father has found according to the flesh.
For If Abraham was justified by works.
He has something to boast about that reminds us of what Ephesians 2 89.
We're not saved by works.
Lest any man should boast again.
Abraham said, Paul says, it's concerning Abraham, 4th.
Abraham was justified by works.
He has something to boast about but not before God, for what does the scripture say?
Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Now to him who works the wages are not counted as Grace but as a debt but to him who does not work but believes on him who justifies the ungodly faith is accounted for righteousness.
Now again, pause proving the point here that Abraham was saved by faith.
It was saved by faith again.
He says, in verse three Abraham believed God and it was counted, or it was credited unto him as righteousness.
And again, Paul quotes.
The Old Testament to prove his point that quote there in verse 20, verse 3 is taken from Genesis chapter 15 and verse 6.
Where it says Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Abraham could not have been saved by keeping the law.
Why is that?
Because he lived?
Over 400 years before the law was ever given.
So he was not saved by doing certain things.
He was not saved by keeping the commands of the Lord, know that would be a Salvation by works.
You say, well.
What about those who were, who were saved after the law was given such as David will.
Paul brings that up in verse 6 of Romans 4:6.
Just as David also, describes the blessedness of the man to whom God, imputed righteousness apart from works.
Blessed are those whose Lawless Deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.
