Joshua 23:10-11 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 23:11

Love to God. We are called to love God. It is not enough that we discharge our duty to our neighbour; we have a distinct duty to God ( Malachi 1:6 ), This duty is not fulfilled by the most scrupulous devotion to external service alone. God claims the affection of our hearts. I. THE NATURE OF LOVE TO GOD . (a) It is personal.

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 23:11

Joshua 23:11. Take good heed Now it requires more watchfulness and diligence than it did in the wilderness, because your temptations are now stronger, from the examples and insinuations of your bad neighbours, the remainders of this wicked people; and from your own peace and prosperity; and the pride, security, forgetfulness of God, and luxury, which usually attend that condition. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joshua 23:1-16

23:1-24:33 JOSHUA’S FAREWELLNothing is recorded of events that occurred between Joshua’s division of the land and his farewell addresses to the nation many years later. His life was now drawing to a close (see v. 14), and he called Israel’s leaders together to pass on some encouragement and warning (23:1-2). He assured them that God would continue to fight for his people till all the remaining Canaanites were destroyed, provided his people remained true to the covenant. They were to love God,... read more

1. A reminder of past blessings 23:1-13Joshua reminded the Israelites of God’s faithfulness in fighting for them and giving them victory over their enemies, as He had promised, if they kept His covenant with them.
