Why is Christ referred to as our refuge in God's promises?

Christ is depicted as our refuge throughout Scripture, particularly within the context of God's promises. He serves as the Ark of our salvation, protecting us from judgment symbolized by the flood and the Passover event. Just as the Israelites were saved through the blood on their doorposts (Exodus 12), we are spared through Christ's sacrificial death. The promise of safety via Christ underscores that only by being 'in Him' can we escape the impending judgment, as He absorbed the wrath meant for our sins.
