Salvation Is Not Your Finish Line
I love the promise of a Zoe life - the kind of life where you're actually living in the fulness of what it means to follow Christ.
Reading Joshua reminded me of how much the Israelite story mirrors ours today.
Canaan was always the goal.
God didn't just deliver the Israelites from Egypt so they could wander, he was leading them to a land of milk and honey.
In the same way, salvation isn't about just being rescued from sin but stepping into the fulness of life in Christ.
The tragedy here is many believers don't learn this and settle for a wilderness experience, content with deliverance but never walking in possession of everything Christ has apportioned.
Just as Israel needed Joshua to lead them into Canaan, we need Jesus, our true Joshua, to lead is unto God's rest. And just like Canaan, the fulness of Christ doesn't come without battles.
The Israelites faced seven nations standing in their way. We face spiritual opposition too, forces designed to keep us from experiencing all God has promised.
But how amazing to remember that every single enemy you'll every face has already been defeated in Christ!
Now if you're wondering "well if that's true, then where's my inheritance?"
Remember, fulness isn't handed to the passive but received to the believer who hungers, presses in, and through faith explores new boundaries to take hold of what Jesus has already secured.
The thing that you fear the most? The sin you just can't seem to shake?
The fulness of Christ is on the other side.
To God Be The Glory,
Tolu
