What did the earliest offer of salvation require according to this lesson?
The earliest offer of salvation required people to be prompted by conscience that they had sinned and rebelled against the laws of conscience God placed in them, to bring a blood sacrifice, and to confess their sin; then God would accept them.
Les explains that after 2000 years of utter failure, God gave the whole human race an opportunity for salvation. All they had to do was be prompted by conscience that they had sinned and rebelled against God's laws of conscience, bring a blood sacrifice, and confess their sin, and God would accept them. It was that simple. But they rejected it totally, so God destroyed those generations with the flood, started over with Noah and his three sons, and within 200 years their offspring again rebelled, were ignorant of God's offer, and tried to approach heaven through their own false worship at the tower of Babel.
