Full Deliverance
I recently heard a pastor friend say, “First, God had to take His people out of slavery, but then, He had to take slavery out of them.”
The deliverance of God’s people from Egypt is the central story of the Old Testament. It not only sets the stage for the most important story in the history of redemption—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—but it also has some important parallels for us in regard to the journey of holiness.
