What does the Bible say about the gospel in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel in the Old Testament is a salvation by grace through faith in the Redeemer, illustrated through sacrifices like Abel's lamb.

The Old Testament gospel is seen through the sacrifices and worship practices established among God's people, beginning with Adam and Eve. Their worship was centered around the promise of salvation, symbolized by the lamb slain to cover their nakedness. As Paul explains in Romans 3:24, Old Testament believers were justified freely by grace through the redemption that came through Christ, foreshadowing the New Covenant. This ancient religion is an old gospel where the need for a Redeemer was acknowledged through their sacrifices, such as Abel's offering, which was recognized by God as a faithful act.
