Quotes

John Dunham: “What has appeared to Moses and the Israelites as a serious deterioration of an already bad situation has been instead a careful preparation for what is to come.”

John Currid: “The Patriarchs did not fully experience the essential nature and power of the name Yahweh. As we have seen that name reflects a God who fulfills his promises. The promise of a coming Exodus and redemption from slavery, was not fulfilled during the time of the Patriarchs but belonged to a distant future. And so, when this passage in Exodus speaks of God’s name, the Lord name, refers to His revealing his essence. Yahweh was now to show that He was and is the Lord. That He is the one who is faithful and unchanging in fulfilling his promises.”
 
Alec Motyer: “God sent Moses to Egypt to declare a nature, not a name.”  
 
Romans 8:1, 10: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”   

Romans 8:15: “In Christ,…[we] did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but [we]
have received the spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”  
 
Romans 8:18:“In Christ,…the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the
glory that is to be revealed to us.” 
 
Romans 8:32, 38-39: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
