I WILL TAKE YOU AS MY OWN PEOPLE AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD / EXODUS 6:7

(KJV) Exodus 6:7

 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Exodus 6:6-7 describes the most important meaning and purpose of Israel’s exodus (mass departure) from Egypt and the covenant they received from God at Sinai (Exodus 19:5). The Lord promises to resume Israel from bondage (Exodus 6:6), adopt them as His people (Exodus 6:7) and be their God (Exodus 6:7). In return, the people promised to do the will of their Redeemer – the One who had saved them (Exodus 19-23).

1. These verses emphasize that Israel was helpless to overcome the power that enslaved them. Only God could free them (Exodus 6:5-6). Because of God’s love of His people and His covenant with their forefathers, He would certainly set them free (Exodus 6:6-8; Deuteronomy 7:7-8).
2. Israel’s release from Egypt by God’s power represented the transfer of the ownership of Israel to God Himself. The people of Israel belonged to God Himself. The people of Israel belonged to God because He created them, chose them (Exodus 4:22) and then redeemed them – brought them back – out of slavery.
3. Israel’s redemption (rescue, liberation) from Egypt was a sign of how Jesus would provide redemption – spiritual salvation and freedom – for the sinful human race through His death on the cross. All those who accept Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin and trust Him to lead their lives are set free from the power of Satan, sin and the world. They now belong to God and can trust His love and promises.
