The Way

The number 5 reason that tabernacle study should not be neglected is because it describes the approach of the redeemed to God.

Israel was redeemed. Their redemption came in two steps. They were redeemed from the wrath of God (Passover night, Ex. 12) and redeemed from the bondage of the Egyptians (the Red Sea crossing, Ex. 13). They were redeemed from wrath and bondage, so that they could be redeemed unto God. But, there was still sin in the camp. God cannot dwell among sin, so He gave instructions for the proper approach so that He could dwell among them.

Modern day believers are redeemed in two ways: redeemed from the wrath of God and redeemed from the slavery of sin. They are redeemed unto God. The believer's approach to the Father is the person of Jesus Christ who said: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me. John 14:6.
