It is a common misconception that people who lived during the
Old Testament were saved by keeping the Law of Moses while those
who lived after Jesus are saved by grace. This error was
perpetuated by the Pharisees in Judaism and later by the Judaizers
in the Church. The Apostle Paul combated this error in both Romans
and Galatians.
The truth of the matter is that in every dispensation, sinners are
reconciled to God by faith. Faith is the basis by which every
sinner from Adam & Eve to the last person born in the Millennial
Kingdom is justified before God. No sinner has or ever will be
declared righteous by God on the basis of keeping the Law or by
good works.
