As important as is Genesis to the overall message of the Bible, we can argue that Exodus is just as vital. In the space of these forty chapters, God goes from working with individuals--Abraham, Isaac, and, here, Moses--to working with an entire people. We see the perennial problem of God's providence and grace being met by the people's disobedience. Just as importantly, we see the marvelous story of God's long-suffering love unfolded.
Look further through Exodus and you'll find such cornerstones of the faith as the Ten Commandments and the Passover. The deliverance of the people from Egypt by God is referred to time and time again through the writings and the prophets and on into the New Testament, where the author of Hebrews, perhaps most notably, uses the theme extensively.
