ISRAEL'S
FREEDOM
Summary
When
the children of Israel first came to Egypt they were well received and were not
in bondage. As they matured or multiplied a slave master came and made them
slaves. God sent a deliver to them (Moses). There was a sacrifice made and blood
applied to the door of every Israelites home to avoided death.
The children of
Israel believed that through the things God did
(pledges,
Passover) that they were able to change their lives by leaving Egypt. They
showed their faith by pack their things and leaving Egypt. Even though they
believed and proved it by leaving Egypt, they were not yet saved from bondage.
Not until they come up out of the Red Sea were they saved. The Red Sea is where
Pharaoh's ability to keep the children of Israel in bondage was destroyed.
Through the obedience of God's word given by Moses, the Israelites went down
into the Red Sea with the Pharaoh and they came up out of the Red Sea without
the Pharaoh. Through obedience, water saved them from the bondage of slavery by
drowning Pharaoh.
After coming up out of the Red Sea the children of Israel entered a safe area,
the wilderness. At first they did not know what to expect or how to act, they
needed to be nourished. They had to learn to trust God to provide for them.
The safe place God gave the children of Israel (the wilderness) was a place to
show their commitment to Him and His word, a place where God nourished them with
food as they headed for the promise land (Israel). Most of the children of
Israel did not commit to God and were separated from the rest through a
wondering period where they died and did not enter the promises land. Although
they fell short of entering the promise land they were still in the safe place
God had provided.
Those that did Gods commands cross the river Jordan and entered into
the promise land (Israel).

CHRISTIAN'S
FREEDOM
Summary
We are born into this world as children and are not in bondage of sin. As we
mature satin comes to us and we sin which make us slaves to sin. God sent us a
deliverer (Jesus Christ). A sacrifice was made by Jesus Christ and his blood is
available for all too avoided eternal death. Those who believe through the
things God did (through hearing the word) were able change their lives by
repenting. We show our faith through what we have hear by obey Gods word and
confessing Jesus is the son of God. Even though we believe by confessing Jesus
is the son of God we are not yet released from the bondage of sin. Not until we
come up out of the watery grave of baptism are we saved. Baptism is where
satin's abilities to keep us in bondage is destroyed. Through the obedience of
God's word given by Christ, Christian go down into the watery grave of baptism
with sin and we come up out of the watery grave of baptism without sin. Through
obedience, water saves us from the bondage of sin by the contact of Christ's
death. For even though it is the blood of Christ that removes sin, it is in the
watery grave where we receive a newness of life. Christ blood frees us from the
bondage of sins. After coming up out of water of baptism we enter into the safe
place Christ gave us, the church. At first we do not know what to expect or how
to act, The Hebrew writer described a new Christian as one needing milk as a
baby would need. Christian are expected to listen to Gods word. We listen to
Gods word by reading and studying. By attending worship and bible classes. God
expects us to learn and grow. The safe place God provided for us (the church) is
a place to show our commitment to God and the word, a place where God nourished
us with spiritual food as we headed for the promise land (heaven). Christians
who sin fall short of Gods command are separated from God and the promise land
(heaven). The scriptures are clear that "brethren" may depart, fall or be led
away. There is no once saved always saved. The anti type being greater than the
type, Christians can repent of their sin and be joined back with God again and
again be on the path to the promise land (heaven). Those who continue to keep
Gods commandment will cross the river of life and entered into
the
promise land (heaven).

him: 7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of
Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8 And the LORD hardened the
heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of
Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9 But the

ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their

sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And it came
to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the
Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of
the Egyptians, 25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them
heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for
the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 26 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon
the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27 And Moses
stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when
the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew
the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters returned, and covered
the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the
sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. 29 But the children
of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a
wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 30 Thus the LORD saved
Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians
dead upon the sea shore. 31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did
upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and
his servant Moses. |

After coming up out of the Red Sea the children of Israel entered a safe
area, the wilderness. At first they did not know what to expect or how
to act, they needed to be nourished. They had to learn to trust God to
provide for them. |

Ex.15:22 ¶ So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the
wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no
water. 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of
Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And
the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25
And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had
cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a
statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 26 And said, If thou wilt
diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is
right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon
the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. |

After coming up out of water of baptism we enter into the safe place
Christ gave us, the church. At first we do not know what to expect or
how to act, The Hebrew writer described a new Christian as one needing
milk as a baby would need. Christian are expected to listen to Gods
word. We listen to Gods word by reading and studying. By attending

a. |
Heb
5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach
you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become
such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13
For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he
is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those
who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
1 ¶ Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to
perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and
of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands,
and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. |
