Answer: Since the fall of man, the basis of salvation has always been the death of Christ. No one, either prior to the cross or since the cross, would ever be saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints and future sins of New Testament saints.
Sagot: Mula noong mahulog ang tao sa kasalanan sa Lumang Tipan, ang batayan ng kaligtasan ay laging sa pamamagitan lamang ng kamatayan ni Kristo. Walang sinuman, bago o matapos ang kamatayan ni Hesus sa krus, ang maaaring maligtas kung wala ang naturang napakahalagang pangyayari sa kasaysayan ng mundo.
