Joshua 9 - An Obedience Based Study

Dec 04, 2014

 

" 18  Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”   Matthew 28:18-20 NIV

 

What does this passage teach me about God?

verse 10 says He conquers kingdoms

verse 14 says He can be inquired of

verse 20 says He wants us to honor our promises, and will punish harshly if we don't

What does this passage teach me about man?  (humans, mankind, our condition, etc)

verse 4 says we tell lies

verse 14 shows that we tend to look at the physical world and trust it, also that we can inquire of the Lord

verse 18 (2nd part) shows that we may grumble against our leadership's decisions

Are there any sins to avoid or examples to follow? (or commands to obey)

verse 14 (sin) people did not inquire of the Lord

verse 19 (example) says we should honor our commitments

How am I going to obey? (Be specific)
