The Exodus story reveals that deliverance has a divine purpose: worship and service to God. Repeatedly, God commands Pharaoh to let His people go “that they may serve Me.” This shows that freedom isn’t the final goal—faithful devotion is. Without service, deliverance becomes self-serving; it must lead to discipleship or it ends in spiritual defeat. True liberty, as Galatians 5:13 reminds us, is not for indulging the flesh but for loving service.

You can’t serve God in Egypt—a place of compromise and bondage. God calls His people out to live consecrated lives. Serving Him requires sacrifice, not just song or sentiment. Worship begins with surrender.

Service to God is also generational. He desires not just individual devotion, but family legacy. Our homes are part of our mission field—serving God includes leading our children and spouses in faith.

True service also involves our possessions. God doesn’t only ask for our time but also for our treasure. What we withhold often reveals where our loyalty lies.

Ultimately, serving God is about recognizing His Lordship. The enemy is fine with religion as long as it lacks surrender. Jesus emphasized repentance and Lordship, not popularity. The early church confessed “Jesus is Lord,” not just Savior. Sonship may be free, but servanthood costs everything. Salvation is not just escape—it’s enlistment. We are saved from sin, but also for God’s purpose: to serve Him with all that we are.
