The ____ formed a pattern of salvation by which God's future deeds of redemption could be understood.

• A. Covenant
• B. Prophecy
• C. Exodus
• D. Mosaic Law

Answer: (C)

The pattern of salvation in Scripture is seen as a typological pattern, where a past deliverance becomes a picture of future saving work. The Exodus is the clearest and most influential for this purpose, showing God delivering His people from bondage, initiating a covenant relationship, and guiding them toward a promised future. The blood of the Passover and the crossing of the Red Sea point forward to Christ’s redemptive work, helping believers understand how God saves—by delivering from bondage, making a people, and providing for them along the way. While the covenant establishes the relationship, prophecy points to what God will do, and Mosaic Law reveals God’s holy standards, none of these alone forms the primary pattern of redemption the way the Exodus does. So the Exodus best fits the idea of a pattern through which God’s future deeds of redemption are understood.
