Complete Study of Exodus by pastor Chuck Smith
EXODUS 13: “GIVE GOD YOUR BEST” – by Sonny Islas, Facebook video.
INTRODUCTION: At this point in the Exodus storyline, just before Israel is powerfully escorted out of Egypt by The LORD, He gives them some instructions about – How they will begin to serve, worship, and obey Him – starting with:
The Consecration of the Firstborn, The Feast of Unleavened Bread and The Law of the Firstborn.
This was Israel’s "Discipleship 101 class".
It’s the same for new believers in Christ.
They are rescued from the bondage of Satan and sin then they are to be baptized and instructed in the teaching of Jesus – to obey them (MATT 28:19-20).
By the way, just as a new believer is to be baptized right after he’s rescued (ACTS 2:38), God baptized the entire nation of Israel as He took them through the Red Sea. The Red sea was actually a mass baptism (1 COR 10:2).
