How were kids in those days taught to follow God’s law? Moses said to do it by telling the story of how God saved his people: “When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand’” (Deuteronomy 6:20–21). It should come as no surprise, then, that once God’s saving work reaches its peak in Jesus, the Bible constantly uses this salvation to motivate us.
