How do we know the significance of the Passover?

The significance of the Passover lies in its typological foreshadowing of Christ's atonement. Throughout the Old Testament, particularly in Exodus, the Passover lamb was carefully selected, slaughtered, and its blood applied to ensure the safety of God's people from judgment. This act of obedience foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, who was without sin and whose blood provides a true covering for sin. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that it is by God’s strength and grace that His people are delivered from bondage, both in Egypt and from the slavery of sin through Christ’s death on the cross.
