True Faith

Chapter six of Joshua is about faith and just in case you miss that point Hebrews 11:30 tells us that it is an example of faith. So did faith make the walls come down? No, God did. Joshua and the Israelites had faith that if they obeyed God's word then it would happen. Ryan Fullerton tells us that there are three points to consider in this chapter:
1. True faith sees what God says.
2. True faith obeys what God says.
3. True faith becomes sight.
Because God has promised that the walls would come down the people had faith that He would keep that promise. Because Revelation 5:9,10 tell us that someday people from every tribe and nation will be made priests and will reign on the earth that it will happen even though that does not seem to be the case today.
The message to everyone today is "Join the Kingdom of God or it will destroy you."
