"For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith." Hebrews 4:2
So how was the Gospel preached to the people in the Old Testament? Certainly the sacrifices spoke of their need of a Saviour. The tabernacle showed the Gospel. The Law also showed the Gospel. How quickly the people turned the Law into something that it was not intended to be. The Law was not an end in itself but pointed to a Saviour, the Gospel.

How well this parallels Galatians 3 where Paul says how beforehand, the Gospel was preached to Abraham. The gospel was that "The righteous will live by faith."
Justification by faith alone, how awesome.
