We all know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and life verse found in the book of John 14:6. But how about those people who lived before Christ?
Yes
They were saved and are judged according to their good will and deeds.
No
We receive salvation in Christ through repentance and faith. This means turning away from sinful ways (repentance) and turning to God (faith), trusting in Christ. Jesus will forgive your sins and set you on a path to life with Him. We cannot earn this right, it is His free gift.
