Under Gods Command
Joshua 24:33 – And Eleazar son of Aaron died and was buried at Gibeah, which had been allotted to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.
Joshua and Eleazar died, but not before laying before the people the fundamentals of what it means to have faith in God. We are to fear and serve the Lord alone. This is based on a choice: to obey him instead of following other gods. We are incapable, however, of properly worshiping him because of our rebellion and sins. By choosing God as Lord we enter into a covenant with him whereby he promises not only to forgive and love us, but also to enable us by his spirit to do his work here on earth. This covenant requires us to renounce the principles and practices of the culture around us that are hostile to God’s plan. This is not to be done alone, but by binding ourselves together with others who have faith in God.
