God has led Israel out of Egypt with mighty power


God has led Israel out of Egypt with mighty power

Acts 13:17
            17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country;

Ex 6:6, 7
            “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. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

Deut 7:6-8
            For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)     God brought us out of slavery with His mighty power
2)      God redeemed us with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
3)     God took us as His own people and He is our God.
4)     God delivered us from the yoke of sin and slavery
5)     God loved us and kept the oath He swore to our ancestors.
