What does the story of Passover teach us about God's character?

Answered in 1 source

The Passover story reveals God’s justice in judging sin and His grace in providing salvation through the blood of the lamb.

The Passover narrative serves as a compelling illustration of God's dual nature of justice and grace. In Exodus 12, God pronounces judgment on Egypt for their sins while simultaneously providing a means of escape for His chosen people through the blood of the Passover lamb. This act of sparing the Israelites showcases God's grace, as He instructs them on how to apply the blood to their doorposts so that judgment would pass over them. It highlights that God, while just in His judgments, is also faithfully merciful, offering protection and deliverance to those who obey His command. This paradigm continues to resonate through the New Testament as Christ is depicted as our Passover Lamb, echoing the essential understanding that God's mercy does not negate His justice; rather, it fulfills it.
