Christ’s shed blood serves as the ransom that frees mankind from sin and death. Since nothing can prevent Jehovah from accomplishing what he has purposed to do, as soon as the words recorded at Genesis 3: 15 were spoken, the ransom was as good as paid from God’s viewpoint. He could now forgive those who exercised faith in his promises.
فخلال ازمنة ما قبل المسيحية ،‏ اعتبر يهوه عددا من الافراد ابرارا في عينيه ،‏ امثال اخنوخ ونوح وإبراهيم وراحاب وأيوب الذين بالايمان تطلّعوا بشوق الى اتمام وعود الله .‏
