It has been said that Exodus (the word means exit) is one of the best known and most popular books of the Bible, although perhaps the case is that this criterion corresponds to only certain parts of the book. The purpose of Exodus is to record the salvation, by blood and by power, of an enslaved people who were the subject of divine promises, eg 6.2 to 9. It opens in darkness and gloom and closes in glory. In its beginning it tells that God descended in grace to liberate his people, 3.8, and at its completion it tells that this same God descended in glory to dwell in the midst of a redeemed people, 40.34, 35. Its distinctive message is one of redemption, and the historical record traces the operation of divine grace in redemption and recovery for man through Jesus Christ. The story of Exodus repeats itself in every soul seeking complete liberation, especially from sin and the world seen as a Pharaoh and a house of bondage; compare Romans 6.14 to 18. It shows that redemption is only from God. In the pronouncement of the ten commandments we see that this God of grace and mercy is a holy God, who must set standards for his people. Still, as we read "you shall love the Lord your God," we see that he desires the will and affection of his people. https: //amzn.to/2Xdtq2m
