What happens to those people who died before Christ? Are they saved?

This is the most frequently and regularly asked question from every individual. After reading the answer below, please give your response or comment regarding the answer which I gave (only if you have any other views on this question) please feel free to mention.

As you know, Since from the beginning the people have started searching God in different forms, objects, and in different ways thinking that there must be someone who is sovereign and the creator of all things. We know and believe everything is created by God and the creation itself praises God even though if anyone didn't hear about Jesus but he/she must have a conscience (moral/ethical law) which is given to every human by God to know and understand the truth that there is someone who had designed this whole universe or the creation. 

Romans 1:19-20 says, "Since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." If he/she could have seen the creation and searched, call, or worship the creator, I think he/she will be judged by these. 

Also in Romans 2:14-15 says, (Indeed, when Gentiles who do not have the law, do by nature things required they do not have the law. they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes causing them and at other times even defending them.) Here, we can see the consciences (moral/ethical law) which is given to all of us that helps to become obedient or disobedient to our conscience. This will reveal the condition of our hearts.

Finally, Revelation 20:12-16 says, "...................Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." Here it talks about our deeds. whatever we have done in our lifetime whether it's good or bad (personal sins) everything is recorded in the book of life.

Thus, those people who died before Christ will be judged for eternal heaven or hell in the day of judgment mainly on those bases and this will decide whether they are saved or not.
