How do we know the significance of the blood in the Passover?

Answered in 1 source

The blood signifies deliverance from judgment, as God promises to pass over those marked by it.

In the Passover narrative, the blood of the lamb is critical for the Israelites' deliverance from judgment. Exodus 12:13 states, 'When I see the blood, I will pass over you.' This act illustrates the importance of sacrificial blood in God's plan for redemption. The blood represents life given up so that others may live, symbolizing the grace bestowed upon those who trust in God's provision. Just as the Israelites were spared because of the blood, believers today are saved through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God.
