Revelation of God the Father

Josué 24:1–28 (NEG79)

1 Josué assembla toutes les tribus d'Israël à Sichem, et il convoqua les anciens d'Israël, ses chefs, ses juges et ses officiers. Et ils se présentèrent devant Dieu.

What does Joshua 24 reveal about who God the Father is? The Lord is gracious. He called and revealed himself to Abram even though he was a pagan worshipping other gods. He brought Israel out of Egypt even though they worshipped other gods (see Joshua 24:14). He does not treat his people as they deserve.   

The Lord is powerful. He sent plagues upon Pharaoh; he destroyed the armies of Canaan. No one can stop his hand or prevent him from accomplishing his purposes.  

The Lord is holy. He is completely different from anyone or anything else.

The Lord is jealous. He desires the worship of his people and will not have them serving other gods (idols).
