Name four of the comparison. Exodus / Gospel

E: In the Exodus, many lambs are slain. / G: In the Gospel, One is slain for all.

What is the meaning of Salvation in the exodus and how is that reflected in salvation today?
(CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION)
Again, notice that the Israelites only stood firm and followed God’s instructions. They did not “do” anything to save themselves. The plagues, the exodus, and the Red Sea crossing did not require their initiative or even the faith of the people. This was God’s deliverance. However, when it came time to exercise faith (trust) in the God who delivered them, they miserably failed. The plagues, the exodus, and the Red Sea crossing became God’s offer of salvation to the Israelites. These three things could only be done by God. In the same way we believe that there were certain things that only God could do to offer salvation to us under the New Covenant.
Doctrine 6: We believe that the Lord Jesus Crhist has by His suffering and death made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.
However, we play a part in our salvation as well
Doctrine 7: We believe that repentance towards god, faith in our Lord Jesus christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation.
Be ready to discuss in detail what was God’s role in saving the Israelites and what was their role. Also, what was God’s role in saving us today and what is our role.
