The principle of salvation is interwoven recurrent throughout the Bible as God established, through His Word and faithful men and women, the spiritual laws that would set us free.
There's a beautiful picture of redemption in the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 14.
It applies to the leper on his day of cleansing.
The priest is instructed to go outside the camp to seek the leper. The leper does nothing, which validates the leper's faith (Romans 4:4-5), accounting it for righteousness.
There are two birds prepared for sacrifice. One is killed in a vessel over running water (John 7:37-39), the other is dipped in the blood (Hebrews 9:22) and released (1 Corinthians 15:17).
Wood, scarlet and hyssop are used. We see these, again, at the cross.
One pays the price and the other goes free, signifying the sacrifice made by Christ and the release of the one covered by His blood. It also testifies to the Risen Christ in the life of the freed bird.
Our redemption is perfect and complete. Our freedom is confirmed by the Mediator of our new covenant (Hebrews 9:11-15). His life bought ours.
