The night the Children of Israel were delivered from Egyptian bondage, the Lord passed over all the Hebrew homes which had the blood of the lamb on their door posts. Death came to all the firstborn males in Egypt that did not have the blood covering upon their house. If we want to be saved, we must also APPLY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD by being baptized in the NAME OF JESUS!
Exodus 12:12 KJV - For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exodus 12:13 KJV - And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Just as a lamb was killed to save the firstborn males in the Hebrew homes, Jesus the Lamb of God was killed to save all those that apply His blood to their “house” (their body). We apply His blood by baptism in Jesus name. Jesus is the Lamb of God.
John 1:29 KJV - The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus is our passover Lamb. Jesus was crucified at the same hour the passover lamb was killed at the Temple in Jerusalem.
1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
We “purge out the old leaven” when we repent of our sins. We apply His blood - the blood of the Lamb of God - when we are baptized in “JESUS” name. His blood is not applied by repeating titles, “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost” - it takes the NAME of JESUS to remit our sins!!
Acts 2:38 KJV - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 4:12 KJV - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
