Faith and trust in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1Peter3:18-22
Christ also suffered when he died for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners that he might bring us safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. So he went and preached to the spirits in prison- those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. And this is a picture of baptism, which now saves you by the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Baptism is not a removal of dirt from your body; it is an appeal to God from[fn4] a clean conscience. Now Christ has gone to heaven. He is seated in the place of honor next to God, and all the angels and authorities and powers are bowing before him

The answer is - faith in Jesus.
" Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. (Jn 17:21a) NIV
The three persons of the triune Godhead are eternal.The second Person of that Godhead (Jesus) came to earth 2000 years ago and, through his death on the cross, made salvation available to all, regardless of when they lived on earth. King David, the Patriarchs, the Old Testament prophets and many others from that time will be among those who rise from their graves on Judgement Day to meet the Lord in the sky (see 1 Thess 4:16 NIV).

Greetings shingie,
Let's look at Romans 2-5
and Hebrews 11
Have a read of these two passages, prayerfully, and ask the Lord to open them up for you to understand.
If you wish to discuss any of it further, just post away.
Bless you ....><>
