How does the Passover relate to New Testament believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Passover typifies Christ's sacrifice, as believers are delivered from sin and judgment through His blood.

The Passover established in Exodus serves as a foreshadowing of Christ's atoning work in the New Testament. Just as the Israelites were saved by the blood of the lamb applied to their doorposts, so too are New Testament believers delivered from sin's penalty by the blood of Christ. This typology highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout history. In Luke 22:16, Jesus mentions that He will not partake of the Passover until it finds its fulfillment in the Kingdom of God, indicating that the final and complete salvation in Christ is a spiritual reality experienced by all who believe. Therefore, the observance of the Passover reminds us of the grace that delivers and sustains us in our covenant relationship with God.
