Isaiah 19:20-21
And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it.

God sent Moses to lead Israel out of slavery, but it was actually The Lord who led them, who alone can save (deliver). So He also delivers us from our enslavement to sin, our disobedience and disbelief in Him, through our turning away from it to Him and trusting His deliverance when He promises it - just as promised to Israel for freedom from bondage. This is then what makes God known to you and causes you to further obey from the heart in love and not by compulsion.
Galatians 4:3-5. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
