Joshua - How are we saved? But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, Deuteronomy 20:16 1 - Faith And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls. Joel 2:32 The church, as a whole, has done a huge disservice to the public. We have reduced salvation to a moment. 2 - Action And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?  James 1:25 It's not enough just to say we believe in something.  You can have all the Bible knowledge in the world and still go to Hell.  How do we go down in history? and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, Matthew 1:5 1 - See the Activity of God Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction.  Joshua 2:8-10 Rahab saw the activity of God and knew which side she needed to be on. Oftentimes we say “let me pray about it” when we need to just get to work. Stop saying you need to pray about something God has commanded you to do. 2 - Be Willing to Take the Risk Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall. Joshua 2:15 Walking with God is not easy, it's risky. If God asks you to risk it for him, is it really a risk? 3 - Leave a Legacy And they said to Joshua, “Truly the Lord has given all the land into our hands. And also, all the inhabitants of the land melt away because of us.” Joshua 2:24 Do you ever stop and think about what legacy you are leaving for Jesus? What will they say at your funeral? Nothing in this world is more important than what we do for the KINGDOM! What does this mean for us? Do you need to get saved for real? Do you want to be famous?
