Exodus 20:2 - I am the Lord thy
God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage.
This passage is addressed to the Israelites directly. God
is giving them an introduction into His law. He speaks of how He brought them
out of Egypt and bondage and how He is their God.
Though
we may not be in literal bondage, the passage applies to us. Before the Lord
saved us, He had to remove us from Egypt (the world). He then had to deliver us
from bondage. Though we may have never been in actual chains, there were sins
which enslaved us. Like he did to men of old, He will break the chains asunder.
The Lord will remove us from this bondage and out of the land of Egypt if only
we will ask. Cry out to the Lord and he will hear and save.
