But my family and I have decided to dedicate our lives to our God.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Context_of_Joshua_24_15\"><\/span><b>Context of Joshua 24:15<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we begin to analyze the verse, let&#8217;s give you the literary context in which it is found and also the historical context, since it is an account of the <\/span><b>history of Israel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it will be easier for you to understand with this introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to place yourself around <\/span><b>the year 1400 B.C.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that is to say, fourteen centuries before Jesus was born, a very primitive period of humanity where only a few civilizations had emerged, among them the people of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They were enslaved in Egypt years before and, thanks to Moses and with the indispensable help of God, they were able to flee and were guided to the Promised Land. It was a long and arduous journey that you will find <\/span><b>narrated in Exodus<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even so, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/faith-according-bible\/\">faith<\/a> in the Lord only increased during that long journey through the wilderness and it was at that moment that God gave Moses <\/span><b>the tables of the Law<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is still largely in force today and we use it as a basis for our behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Moses did not enter the promised land of Canaan and was succeeded by Joshua, today&#8217;s protagonist. The latter conquered many of the cities there and finally divided the territory between <\/span><b>the 12 tribes of Israel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chapter you have read is part of the <\/span><b>end of his life, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specifically the final speech he makes before all the wise men and chiefs who had followed him there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, you must situate this chapter in <\/span><b>the Book of Joshua <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the Old Testament after the book of Deuteronomy and before Judges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a book narrated chronologically, with the first part explaining the conquest of Canaan and the last parts explaining the distribution of the lands among the tribes and their unification under the same <\/span><b>faith in God<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Study_of_Joshua_24_15\"><\/span><b>Study of Joshua 24:15 <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We begin now with the <\/span><b>biblical commentary on Joshua 24:15<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we have prepared for you today. To do this, we recommend that you look at the verse and look up the details that we are commenting on in any of the versions that we have shown you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing that stands out at first glance is that it is a verse written in the conditional <\/span><b>in the conditional <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where all the weight falls on the word &#8220;if&#8221;, leaving room for freedom to choose what action to take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this freedom is the most important thing we have to learn today. God loves us so much that <\/span><b>makes us free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to choose whether we want to follow him and act according to his will or, on the contrary, to turn away from him and go our own way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is infinitely powerful, but He is also infinitely <\/span><b>is infinite love<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He could bend us and make everyone faithful to him, but if there is one thing that is above this, it is the freedom to choose our faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, those who choose to turn away from the Lord will be helpless and will not have the protection and guidance that is Our Lord; <\/span><b>being vulnerable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/temptatione-bible\/\">temptation<\/a> and disgrace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we must understand this. The Lord is not a lucky charm that is given to us at birth and will protect us at all times. The Lord <\/span><b>is our strength<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as long as we seek Him by fostering our faith through prayer and the Word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christians, with baptism and communion and, for Catholics, confirmation as well; <\/span><b>reaffirm our faith<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the Lord and decided to follow him. This should be accompanied after the proper actions such as prayer or attending and celebrating the Lord&#8217;s Day every Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us celebrate this freedom that God gives us as the fruit of His infinite love, and let us pray for Him, thanking Him and trying to love Him as He loves us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so we end this article on Joshua 24:15 and the freedom that the Lord gives us with love. Let&#8217;s thank God for it and also, we thank you for reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/category\/verses\/\">our articles<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want more, feel free to keep browsing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\">Your Online Bible<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever thought why the Lord, with all His power, does not force us to believe in Him and serve Him?
