Family provides community, identity, and shared values.
In the book of Exodus, God frees Israel from slavery to Egypt.
But they are not left as orphans.
Rather, the redeemed are made into a new family-- God's family.
In Freed to be God's Family, Mark R.
Glanville argues that the central motif of Exodus is community.
God wants a healthy, dynamic relationship with the redeemed.
As family members, Israel is called to learn God's ways and reflect God's character to.
