Salvation is through the death of a substitutionary atoning lamb sacrificed so the guilty may go free.

A.W. Pink describes God as standing guard at the door so that the judgment of the death angel could not enter the houses where the blood of the passover lamb was applied. God’s wrath was satisfied by the judgment that had already fallen on the substitutionary sacrificial lamb. Wrath was turned away. Those under the blood were safe. Believers sins are covered in the blood of our passover lamb, Jesus Christ. He paid the price on Calvary.
