The Holy Pagans of the Old Testament

The Old Testament gives us a clear answer to that question. People like Abraham and Moses and King David never heard of Christ and yet obviously they were saved only through Christ's atoning death. So the example of Old Testament believers shows us clearly that a person doesn't have to have a conscious knowledge of Christ in order to be a beneficiary of Christ's death. Now could this apply to people who were not Jews? Well again the Old Testament I think gives us aclear answer to thatquestion. Yes there are certain figures in the Old Testament who are non-Jews and yet who clearly have a saving relationship with God. Sometimes these are known as the holy pagans of the Old Testament.
