Joshua
is a book for those whose prayers seem to go unanswered, for those who wonder
if God is really alive and active, and for those who desire fresh assurance of
God's dependability.
Joshua 5:13 - 6:27 Jericho Falls
Joshua 7 - 8 Defeat, Confession and
Victory
Listen to and obey God without
any doubt.
So, Mount Ebal stood for cursing and
Gerizim stood for blessing. This event between the two mountains formed a huge
object lesson. What happened to the Israelites in the land, the history of
Israel, was going to depend on where they lived, as it were - on Mount Ebal, in
disobedience and under the curses, or on Mount Gerizim, in obedience and under
God’s blessing.
An altar of
uncut stones, on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt
offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
It
shows that human beings can add nothing to the work of God for salvation or for
spirituality. It is all by grace through the work of God in Christ.
