Genesis 3:15

I wondered for a long time how the people who lived before Christ could be redeemed and made right with God. But then I read Genesis 3:15 - the promised seed of woman who would crush the head of the serpent. The answer then is almost the same as that of those who came after Christ: Faith in the promised seed who was to come as opposed to faith in the promised seed who has already come.
It may seem a rather weak argument, but Hebrews 11 sheds some more light on this. Sorry I couldn't write more, I'm in the middle of something else and just wanted to throw this on the table.
