Lesson #8 - Drama of Redemption: The Paradigm of Salvation

In the episode, Skye, Brenaea, and Anna talk through God's paradigm for salvation, as it is shown in the book of Exodus and the New Testament. They discuss the contours of God's deliverance of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt, and how it matches up with God's deliverance of humanity from their slavery to sin through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. If you want a helpful summary of the Exodus story, before listening to this podcast (since we are covering a lot of the Bible in this episode in a short space of time!), we recommend this six minute video from The Bible Project.Also, here are the points of the "salvation paradigm" that we draw out in this episode:God’s people are trapped in a situation where they are unable to save themselvesGod takes actionGod prepares an individual be the deliverer of his peopleGod confirms his authority and identity through signs & wondersGod defeats the spiritual powers that are keeping his people in bondageGod provides a sacrifice to protect his people from his judgment on evilGod accomplishes salvation and is victoriousGod's people remember this victory as a sign of God's faithfulness and loveGod's people live in light of the salvation God has provided for them
