When God brought His people out of their Egyptian bondage, Moses sang a song to the Lord.

"Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." - Exodus 15:1 KJV

The second verse is,

"The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him." - Exodus 15:2 KJV

We see that Egyptian bondage and deliverance from it is a type and shadow of our new covenant spiritual experience. The LORD came in the form of man to save us out of the bondage of our sins and death.

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." - Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV

The LORD came in His saving name, JESUS.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12 KJV

As Moses sang, “I will prepare him an habitation.”

We claim the blood God shed for our sins when we are water baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins.

"And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." - Luke 24:47 KJV

"For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:28 KJV

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV

We have prepared an habitation for the Lord when we have repented of our sins, and had them buried/washed away in water baptism in Jesus name.

The Lord inhabits our bodily temple when we receive the gift of His Holy Ghost, which is God’s Spirit.

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV

Because of the great victory God has won for us, delivering us from the bondage of sin and death, we should be careful to remember that we are His temple.

"Flee fornication [Run from sexual sin]. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." - 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV

Time to go to church – to worship the One that has delivered and saved us, Jesus Christ, and to hear the preaching of His Word. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Psalm 100). Jesus has appointed shepherds – pastors – so that we may be fed, so we can grow to be pleasing in God’s sight.

As Paul spoke to the elders of the church,

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." - Acts 20:28 KJV
