What is the ultimate purpose of the faith ? Of course some people believe in God for safety to live in this world or physical blessing.
But our goal of faith is the salvation. And God said that the promise has given us by God is the eternal life.(1Jn2:25) The eternal life means we receive the salvation and go back to kingdom of heaven.
Nobody say that I want to go to the hell on judgement day according to the bible.
Everybody who believes in God want to receive the salvation.
Then God will give them the salvation through Which way ?
If we study the history about israelies who was living as slave in Egypt , God gave them the salvation through the Passover.
The history that God allowed Isaelites to come out of Egypt through Moses is prophecy of that Jesus lead us from this sinful world by giving the forgivness of sins through the Passover in the new testament.
Ex 12:11 This is how you are to eat it : with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hadn. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover... The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are ; and when i see the blood , I will pass over you . NO destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Jehovah God commanded to keep the passover and lead them from slave to freedom.
Then, What about now ? How can we receive the salvation ? Through which way ?
Jn 6:53 Jesus said to them " I tell you the truth .... Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day
Mt 26:19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
26:26 While they were eating , Jesustook bread, gave thanks and broke it , and gave it to his disciples, saying " Take and eat ; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying " Drink from it , all of you This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
In the new testament Jesus came himself and kept the Passover with disaples . Through that Jesus allowed us his flesh and blood that has a promise which is eternal life.
In order to understand why Jesus give us the eternal life through the Passover , We have to know first about the king the of heaven.
Rev 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things passover away .
In the kingdom of heaven there is no death. But what about us ? We are destined to die someday. God wants to change us through the passover and lead us to the kingdom of heaven.
In the old testament and new testament , God gave us the way to eternal life.
If you believe in God and If you really wants to receive the salvation , you have to keep the passover.
