What changed, so far as salvation is concerned, between the fall of Adam and the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus? Seems to me the process of salvation was the same for Adam as it is for us today. The fact Jesus died, rose, and returned to heaven in 31 AD didn't changed how people experience salvation. In this respect we are no better off today than the people who lived before Jesus came in the flesh. Like them, we believe in a Savior we have never seen in person. Whether we are salves or heirs depends on whether we experience salvation or not. Since Jesus is the "lamb slain from the foundation of the world" it doesn't matter, so far as being slaves or heirs is concerned, if we were born before or after Jesus lived and died. In practical terms, so far as day-to-day life is concerned, there is no advantage to living this side of Jesus' ascension.

In practical terms, so far as day-to-day life is concerned, do you think there is an advantage to living this side of Jesus' ascension? We have some historical "proof" of Jesus today. In Abraham's day, there was no such thing. It was easier to discount the Messiah back then. But we both know that belief in His existence is far from sufficient. Even the demons believe, and tremble.
By God's grace,

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892
