Quick answer
God brought His chosen people out with joy and singing. It matters because redemption gave rise to glad worship.
Overview
The deliverance from Egypt issued in rejoicing, as seen in the song at the sea (Exodus 15). God's saving acts evoke joyful praise from His redeemed. So too the greater redemption in Christ moves His people to sing of His salvation.
