For your protection…
This is why the blood of the sacrificial Lamb is important:
God’s love for you provides protection from your sins. His love also protects you from His wrath and His judgment on those very sins. And this protection is by your faith in Jesus, the Lamb of God.
God’s love protects anyone whose faith is in Jesus, His only begotten Son.
God’s requirement for your sins to be forgiven – the sacrificial blood of a perfect sacrifice… His name is Jesus
The LORD gave us a “picture” of the Lamb He would provide and His judgments with the Passover.
(NASB) Exodus 12:3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13“…take a lamb for themselves…”
“…Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old”
“…kill it at twilight.”
“…take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.”
“…eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand… it is the LORD’S Passover.”
“‘For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments – I am the LORD.”
“The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.”
