Title: Let's become people who enjoy peace. Text: Joshua 11:16-23
1. Those who can enjoy the peace that God gives are those who live by holding onto the Word.
Joshua 11:15 If Joshua and the people of Israel did not live by the word of God, but depended on their own experiences, knowledge, and strength, would true peace have come to them? no. God had given Moses a word earlier. And Moses thoroughly trained Joshua with the word, so that he obeyed the word. And Joshua led the Israelites to live in the wilderness by holding on to the word of God without departing from it, to cross the Jordan River, and to wage the long and protracted war of Canaan. God gives blessings and peace to those who live by the word of promise. 1 Kings 8:56 Dear saints! As such, the Word is the key to peace. The Word is the door to peace. Living by holding onto the Word is the way to enjoy peace. Joshua knew this secret. At the end of verse 15, it says, 'Joshua 11:15 '...and there was nothing that the LORD had not done in all that he commanded Moses'. Now, we must hold onto Jesus, who became the Word and become flesh. He is the Lord of peace. He is the giver of peace. It is a fountain of peace. Luke 1:79
2. Those who can enjoy the peace that God gives are given to those who have won the battle.
3. Those who can enjoy the peace that God gives can be enjoyed by those who have fulfilled their mission well.
