What happened to people who died before the ressurection, who, obviously , were not saved Jesus paying the price for us?  Maybe this is a dumb question with an obvious answer, if it is, somebody please tell me which bible book to look in.  Like Joseph or abraham, cuz they werent perfect but believed fully in God.  Jesus had not died for them yet so there sins could not be forgiven by grace.  And the cost of sin is death, I cant imagine there in hell, but I can't find a explanation for it.  Does Jesus' sacrifice transcend time, therefore paiyng for those before and after him maybe?  I don't know.  I'm not that well read (yet).  Educate me please.
