God's love for Israel is a covenantal love, which means that he will not only rescue them from their Egyptian bondage, but he will uphold his promise to bring them into "a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey." God works the same way today; he not alone declares us innocent through the work of Christ, but he adopts us as his own by that same work, by which we will ultimately enter into our promised rest. This means that we bear God's name and enjoy his presence, and it is through this relationship that Christians move in the world with confidence. There is one God, one covenant, and one people.
