What does Joshua 14 reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (the work of the Son)? Jesus Christ came to live the perfect life in my place and on my behalf. In order to dwell in God’s presence not only must my sin be covered but I also need to come before him with a perfect righteousness, a life of complete devotion to God. Through faith in Christ, his righteousness is imputed to me so that I can look forward to eternal life in God’s presence. Jesus is also the one who experienced isolation, facing the wrath of the Father so that I can be assured of the Father’s goodwill toward me, even though I should go through pain and suffering in this world.
