"The angel feared the blood [Exodus 12:23]; for he knew of what it was a Type; he shuddered, thinking on the Lord's death; therefore he did not touch the door-posts. Moses said, Smear, and they smeared, and were confident. And you, having the Blood of the Lamb Himself, are ye not confident?" (John Chrysostom, Homilies On Hebrews, 27:1)
Excellent. Another great confidence booster is to study the Abrahamic covenant in light of the NT revelation that Jesus Christ is the offspring and seed (singular) to which all the promises pointed and in whom they all find their culmination and fulfillment with the knowledge that all those who are in Christ are joint-heirs of the promises of God which are bound up in an eternal, unbreakable, iron clad blood covenant.
