Joshua is now an old man near the end of his life. He leaves his parting words with Israel. We also explore some of the parting words of Jesus and the Apostle Paul.
A theme is "A faithless generation can arise right behind a faithful one".
How are we to maintain our faithfulness and help to secure the faith of future generations?
1. Faithfulness to the Written Word of God - "Be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of Moses" Joshua 23:6
2. Don't be conformed to the world.
3. Be very careful to CLING to and to LOVE the Lord your God.
Caleb represents for us a believer who followed the Lord with his whole heart. He was promised an allotment of land by Moses. He now comes to Joshua to ask for the promised land. He get it because God honors His promises.
What is actually promised to the believer?
1. Christ's presence with us through all circumstances.
2. Trials and tribulations.
3. Heaven, eternal life.
The Christian believer is to radically and faithfully follow Christ and rejoice in ever circumstance because He in control and all things are working together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes (Rom 8).
We are to be anxious for nothing but in all things with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving we are to make our requests known to Him and the PEACE OF GOD which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:4-7).
