1. Be careful to obey the Book (1-10)

Joshua had some important last words. First, he reminded them that they had conquered the land because the Lord fought with them (3). The Lord would continue fighting for them to push out the godless nations which remained (5,10). So they must not compromise with idolatry in any way, and they must be careful to obey all that is written in the Book-- the Bible.

2. Be careful to love the Lord (11-13)

God does not want superficial lip service. He wants us to love him from the heart. To worship other gods or to compromise with false religions is spiritual adultery. If we love God, we will obey his commandments (Jn 14:21,23).

3. Remember that God keeps his promises (14-16)

God promised to bless those who love and obey him and to destroy those who compromise with idolatry.

Application: Lord, I love you. Help me to obey your word and claim your promises.
One Word: Love God--He fights for you
