God Will Redeem

Read Exodus 5-6
 
Exodus 6:6-8 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”
 
GOD is getting very personal. He tells the enslaved Hebrews that he will free them with his power. He will redeem them, bring them into a new life away from their bondage. And when they are no longer slaves, he will welcome them as his own. He makes a vow and declares it is true with his affirmation, “I am the Lord.”  
    What wondrous love is this. Yes, in his own good time and right way, God gave this message to his people in Egypt. Since that day, he has given the same message to mankind throughout the earth. He has not only spoken his promised vow to the nations, God has acted through the Son and the Spirit to redeem the world from sin’s slavery.
    Always be aware of this wonderful, miraculous message the Bible tells you. With the miraculous intervention of God into the earth through Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection; and with the Holy Spirit’s life-giving power, the Lord God Almighty has exhibited the power of his right arm outstretched each day through the centuries throughout the world to grow his church.
    God’s freedom purpose is constant - to be your God. This means he not only opens the gate of salvation for you, he personally engages with you, so you can enjoy your freedom. He brings you to the kingdom of God. He teaches you how to live well. He gives you what you need to know to keep sin’s chains away and his Word close to you. In Christ Jesus, you can faithfully know your constant God has made you his own and keeps you forever.
   
Freedom: It is a wondrous joy when it is based on God’s life-transforming power.
