For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Salvation by grace through faith is not a NEW concept found only in the New Testament.
This is a Torah concept and it is found in the Exodus story. The way that the children of Israel were saved out of Egyptian bondage and slavery was by grace through faith. By faith, and in obedience, the children of Israel slaughtered the Passover lamb and applied the blood of the lamb to their door frames. When the children of Israel came out of Egypt they were saved by grace through faith. THEN the Lord brought them to Mt Sinai where they could receive the Torah and learn to walk in His ways.
The Passover Feast is all about salvation by grace through faith in the God of Israel. The connection from Passover to Salvation in Yeshua is made when John the Baptist proclaims the following:
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
Yeshua ultimately hangs and dies on the tree at the time of Passover, thus fulfilling the prophetic message that John the Baptist spoke over him, that He is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
