Text for discussion: Deuteronomy 9.
Egypt was a domain of slavery, darkness, false gods, and death. God brought Israel into the Promised Land, driving out the people there in the Land of Canaan. This was not by the peoples' own righteousness, but for the sake of His promises to Abraham, and His own faithfulness. He gives us a better life as we put aside sin and selfishness and live a new life in Him.
