The Significance of the Red Heifer
The Red Heifer, without doubt is a type of the sacrifice of Christ as the basis for the cleansing of the believer from the defilement contracted in his pilgrimage walk through the world.  It is also illustrative of the method of cleansing as follows: the slaying of the sacrifice; the seven-fold sprinkling of the blood; the turning of the sacrifice to ashes which is then preserved as a memorial; the cleansing from the twofold nature of sin, namely guilt and uncleanness by sprinkling with ashes mixed with water.  Water typifies the Holy Spirit and the Word. The method is that the Holy Spirit uses the Word to convict the believer of the things that operate to deprive the believer of his joy, growth and service.  In the circumstances the sinner is brought face to face with his sin and the knowledge that Christ has met the price for his sins.
