The God of Moses is the God of relationships. The most important objective of God was not to accomplish something or to fulfill an agenda; instead, His prime objective was to create a meaningful relationship with His chosen people, Israel. He led them to Sinai in order to establish deep fellowship. These past events should be a warning and a source of unforgettable instruction for us now. We should read them, study them, and learn from them, because no matter how different the circumstances, the spiritual principles behind them remain the same.

The book of Joshua marks the transition from the leadership of Moses to that of Joshua.
The promises of God given to the Patriarchs and to Moses are about to be fulfilled. There is an air of expectation and excitement, a new beginning for the people, long homeless and dispossessed.
The primary purpose of the book is to describe Israel's entry into the land of promise, the conquest of the land and its division among the tribes. Underlining all the stories of conquest throughout the book is God's continued faithfulness to His covenant promises.
