Josué 24

Josué 24

Phillips - What Joshua told Israel is also true for us, until we have turned to Christ's cleansing blood: "You are not able to serve the LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God" (Josh. 24:19). Therefore let us turn to Jesus, whose blood has all the power to cleanse us from our sins. (Hebrews Commentary) De Witt S. Clark - “Ye cannot serve the Lord.” It was a staggering admonition. It embodied what theologians have called the doctrine of “moral inability.” The seat of the disorder is in the will. There is the conflict. Till that is established in the choice of holiness it will still be true, as in the case before us, that one can not serve God. “Ye cannot” should still read for many, loath to abandon practices and ideas and hopes which He condemns, “Ye will not.” (Biblical Illustrator) John
