When we look back at these old timers in the faith. I am sure we agree that had a working relationship with God. Take Peter he knew better but decided to deny Jesus. Paul had no clue until God brouth him to the light. David from childhood believed God, but allowed his flesh to be pleased. Daniel, from birth was taught his God was the God to always follow. In his years he did that and got the proof of all proofs, God delievered him from the den of lions.
