| Publisher Description: "Joshua. The Lord is our God," is a Bible study workbook for group leaders or individual Christians. It will be of great value to anyone who is new to Christianity. It contains questions with answers that are easy to understand.This is NOT a text by text study. It is thematic. We ask the questions that many people are asking today and then reflect on those questions. We try to lay out the big picture of what the Bible is all about. We, therefore, focus on why we, as Christians, believe what we believe. The book, Joshua, contains important biblical principles for all generations. God had chosen Israel - by His grace with a very specific purpose in mind - to be a blessing to all other people. We read, "I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others. I will bless anyone who blesses you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you." - Genesis 12:2-3.The obedience and purity required for Israel to dwell with God teach us about what is required from us as well to dwell with God anywhere.The insight we get from Joshua into God's unfailing character is an important theological fact which helps us understand our dependence upon the Lord for our salvation. As we watch God meticulously keep His promises, both in blessing for obedience and in cursing for disobedience, we are reminded that He keeps his New Covenant promises just as well. However, in the New Covenant God has given us an obedient covenant Mediator-a Saviour greater than Joshua to lead us into a salvation greater than Canaan. |
