Did God Really Deliver the Israelites from Egypt?

A view of the pyramids in Egypt. There is a blue sky and many camels walking in front. Do you believe that God saved the Israelites from Egypt?

Brought out of slavery. Saved from lions. Victorious in battle. The Bible is filled with examples of how God delivers His people in miraculous ways. From the Red Sea to the lion’s den, we see God showing up time and again as a mighty Deliverer. But do we truly believe it today?

Believing That God Delivers, Then and Now

God didn’t just deliver the Israelites from Egypt as a one-time event. He continues to show His power in the lives of those who trust Him. But here’s the real question: Do you believe it? Do you believe that the same God who parted the sea is the God you can talk to today?

Do you believe Jesus gave sight to the blind? That He still works miracles? That a persecutor like Saul could become the Apostle Paul, and that even the most unlikely person today could be changed by God’s grace?

It’s Easy to Doubt, But Have You Done the Work?

Doubt comes easy. It’s comfortable, even logical at times. But have you taken time to investigate your doubts? Lee Strobel, a former atheist and investigative journalist, did just that. In his quest to disprove Christianity, he uncovered such compelling evidence for Jesus that he became a believer himself.

When we dig deeper, we often find that faith is not a leap into the dark, it’s a step into the light of truth.

Encouragement When You’re Questioning

The same God who delivered the Israelites from bondage, the same God who turned Saul’s heart, is the same God who walks with you now. He hasn’t changed. He still hears. He still acts. He still delivers.

“He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love.” -Psalms 107:14-15

Stay encouraged, God delivers, even today.
