What does Joshua 5:1–12 reveal about who God the Father is?
The Lord is faithful to his promises. He does what he says he will do.
The Lord wants to mark his people as belonging to him by means of the sacraments. Sacraments are not empty signs or rituals. The Lord has given us sacraments; he wants us to use them in the right manner.
1 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
