The Egyptian slavery was brought about by God (see Genesis ch.15). It taught us the importance of loving the stranger (Deuteronomy 10:19), it showed us the power of God when He redeemed us (Exodus 10:2) as well as His personal concern for us (Exodus 2:24); and it served as the "iron furnace" (Deuteronomy 4:20) which smelted us (the Israelites) into a nation and separated the dross.
The Exodus is something for which we Jews remain eternally grateful to God. It is one of the reasons given for our observance of God's commands.1) It was the fulfillment of one of God's promises to Abraham (see Genesis ch.15).
2) It demonstrated God's involvement in this world and in the workings of history.
3) It showed that God's covenant with the Forefathers was still in effect.
4) It was the main preparation for the Giving of the Torah at Sinai several weeks later.
5) It made the Israelites into a distinct nation.
6) In the Exodus, God did miracles for which we remain grateful to this day.
