7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 – Jos 23
l The Feast l
August 15_2012 Joshua 23
Dear Saints,
Today we will prayerfully move forward in our Feast Joshua 23. Joshua says farewell to God's chosen people, and talks about God's blessings on them. In doing so he warns them not to turn to the evil ways of the people God conquered for them. “14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed. 15 But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you, 16 if you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land that he has given to you.”” Joshua 23:14-16 English Standard Version (ESV). Previously we have stated that God never changes. So the question I am posing is can we loose our salvation? I'm inclined to believe that if we truly continue to love God with all our heart, turn to Him and confess our sins, truly repent from them and ask forgiveness, Jesus will never let us fall. I don't think we should have to put up with unnecessary traditions, that are from men. I do believe that if we are loving God we will continue to live a Godly lifestyle. The believers in Antioch received these instructions; “23 with the following letter: “The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25 it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”” Acts 15:23-29 (ESV). Therefore in order for Christians to stand they will continue to be doing God's Word. Jesus died once for all of our sin. This was beforehand, not only before our sins but before our very existence. “35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For,
“Yet a little while,
and the coming one will come and will not delay;
38 but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.“ Hebrews 10:35-39 (ESV). Jesus did his part, He lived a sinless life then was sacrificed for all sin. With this in mind should we ever go back to the slave master in sin? “For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.” Romans 14:8 ESV. We cherish our personal relationship with Jesus. Allowing our actions be our testimony. Then we will keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus.
