In Gal.3 the gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand not after he was dead as 1 Peter 4:6 says. Both verses are independent of each other, in other words, the verses in Gal. 3 are related to Abraham while 1 Peter 4:6 is not.I’m not saying he wasn’t. You asked why Abraham needed to have the Gospel preached to him. I simply showed you that it is exactly what happened according to the Scriptures. The “why” is given for you in the Scripture I quoted.

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.”
