Joshua Overview (Part 2)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview, Steve Gregg explores the historical debate among Christians about involving in military warfare, citing the early church fathers' views on loving enemies and not fighting wars. He notes that while the Bible teaches that God judges nations, Christians should not necessarily condemn nations for going to war, assuming the wars were not wicked. As for Joshua, Gregg sees him as a type of Christ, bringing a spiritual inheritance through defeating spiritual foes, and stresses that the encouragement and promise of success found in Joshua chapter one belongs to believers today. Gregg also highlights the story of Rahab, who becomes an example of faith with works and emphasizes the importance of remembering what God has done through tangible memorials.
