The history of Israel leaving Egypt is a lesson for us to leave sin behind us and never look back. God's command that Israel was to come out of a sinful society is as real in our time as it was in the past.
Leaving Egypt is a call to leave the temporary pleasures of our lives in the flesh for a permanent reward with an eternal future. Egypt [along with Sodom and Babylon] typify humanly devised societies that offer an appealing alternative to the way of God. However they lead us away from the path to life.
We must do our part in leaving sin behind... just as Israel had to do their part by getting up on their own two feet and walking out of Egypt. But sin wants you back. Satan will come after you just as the Pharaoh of Egypt chased after the people of Israel.
