And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
(Joshua 5:15)Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
(2 Corinthians 7:1) The blessings of the fear of God
The book of Joshua symbolizes the conquest and advancement of God's people towards his promises. A new generation of Christians must rise up and be consecrated to fulfill what the previous generation failed to do. Sin is like Jericho blocking the way, but when the church walks in the fear of God, he conquers for us. We need to renew our minds, spirits, and bodies and consecrate ourselves to God's will. In the fear of God, we will be blessed and achieve victory.
