the Book of Deuteronomy, states, “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt.”
Christians are called to remember not only that we all were slaves in Egypt ( a type of being slaves to sin and enemies of God ) but also we are called to remember the remedy for that slavery, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and the shedding of His blood for the forgiveness of sins.
1 Corinthians 11:24 “....this is My Body which is for you, do this in remembrance of Me”
To WHOM did God give the LAW?
Deuteronomy 5
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 The Lord made NOT THIS COVENANT with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 (I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you the word of the Lord: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
