Salvation under the Dispensation of Law (2 of 2 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

In considering Old Testament salvation it must be remembered that the Covenants deal with the people on a collective or nationalistic basis and that there is no statement about what one must do in order to be saved. There were doubtless individuals who were natural descendants of Abraham who were not in reality children of God, even as Paul stated: “For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel” (Romans 9:6). But those who were true children of the promise, such as Moses and David, were saved, not by the works of the law, but by the Promise, even though they may have suffered penalties for having broken the law. David broke the law, but he knew the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord would not impute sin (Romans 4:6-8).
