How does Moses' preservation relate to salvation in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Moses' preservation in the ark typifies the safety and salvation found in Christ for believers.
Moses was placed in an ark and floated safely amidst peril, symbolizing the security of believers in Christ. The ark, which sheltered Moses, mirrors Christ, in whom we find refuge from judgment. Just as Moses passed through the waters but was untouched by death, so also believers have died with Christ and are brought into a state of righteousness. This preservation signifies that through faith in Christ, believers are shielded from divine wrath and are counted as righteous before God. The assurance of our salvation in Christ means we are seen as perfect and complete in Him, echoing the safe passage Moses experienced. Hence, our faith rests in the truth that, much like Moses was saved from the flood, we are eternally secure in Christ.
