Obedience verifies true Faith! Hebrews 11:28-29

Moses Kept the passover

Moses by faith kept

He kept perfect verb indicating an action that took place with continual results.

This means that Moses made a choice to obey and continue in it for the rest of his life.

This is a growth step as he struggled to obey the command to go to Egypt and lead the Hebrews out. ex 4

The passover and the sprinkling of blood. Ex 12:1-14 “And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, “This month will be the beginning of months; it will be for you the first of the months of the year. Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family, a lamb for the household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons; you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat. The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats. “You will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and all the assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight.

The Ten Plagues show the contrast between God fearing Moses and God defying Pharaoh

This demonstrates the power of God over all false gods

The turning of water into blood

The infestation of frogs

The plague of lice/gnats

The plague of flies

The plague on live stock

The plague of painful sores

The plague of hail

The plague of locust

The plague of darkness

The death of the first born

This demonstrates the building of Gods servants

Moses obeyed by faith and many were saved.

His belief in the spoken Word of God moved him to teach and keep the passover.

Can you imagine if he had not communicated what God had told him?

God proved His word to be true and powerful. Moses won the trust of the Hebrew people and the Nation of Egypt realized their God was the great God. chapter 12 of Ex

They crossed the Red Sea v29

Hebrews 11:29 KJV 1900

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

Note the faith of Moses brought strength to the Nation of Israel.

Note this was a week faith, struggling to believe.

Exodus 14:13–14 KJV 1900

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Exodus 14:29–31 KJV 1900

But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.

They trusted the man of God

They followed the man of God across the red sea

They were rewarded with victory and a depended faith/trust!
