Joshua 6 page 218
The duty of God’s allies • The Lord’s orders (v1-10) • Obeyed by faith (Hebrews 11:30) • The Lord’s battle (v11-20) • Not his people’s victory (v11-16,20) • Not his people’s plunder (v17-19)
The fate of God’s enemies • Utter destruction (v21,24,26) • As instructed (Deuteronomy 20) • Because of depravity (Leviticus 20:23) • Without double standards (v18) • Option of salvation (v22-23,25) • Peace offered (Deuteronomy 20:10) • Received by faith (Hebrews 11:31)
Discussion • How are we tempted to put worldly ‘success’ before faithfulness to God’s word?How could this take away from God’s glory?Why does this kind of obedience require faith like Rahab’s?
