"And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God" (Ex. 29:46).
When we think about why the Israelites were brought out of Egypt the first thing that may come to r mind is deliverance from slavery or to be brought into the promise land. When we think about why we were saved we may also think about being delivered from hell and a home in heaven. But notice that the Lord said to his people, "And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them" (Ex. 29:46). God brought the Israelites out of Egypt to dwell among them and he saves us for the same reason. God among us is what ought to set us apart from the rest of the world. The great need of the church today is a greater fullness of God dwelling among his people. We will not know that fullness if we r content to go without it. Seek the fullness of God in your life and in your church.
