Summary

“The meanest and most feeble, who have just begun to trust the Lord, are as much entitled to be protected as those who have long and faithfully been his servants. It is our duty to defend the afflicted, who, like the Gibeonites, are brought into trouble on our account, or for the sake of the gospel. Joshua would not forsake his new vassals. How much less shall our true Joshua fail those who trust in Him!” -Matthew Henry

0:00.0	Join Douglas Wilson, Dr. Joseph Bood, Brian Sovey, Eric Kahn, and myself on March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for our 2024 conference.
0:10.0	It's called Blueprints for Chrysidum 2.0. Our early bird pricing ends on Thursday, August 31st.
0:18.0	So go and visit riteresponseconference.com to register today. We hope to see you at the
0:24.6	conference in March. Whether you've been following Jesus for 50 years or for five minutes,
0:35.9	if you have been truly born again by grace alone through faith alone
0:40.1	in Christ alone, trusting in Him, you don't get his partial protection.
0:47.9	From the moment that you trust in Christ, you do not garnish for yourself his partial power, his partial defense, a peace of his
0:59.0	commitment, some of his allegiance, a portion of his affection, but rather the moment you come
1:07.5	into covenant, not merely with an earthly Joshua, but with the true antotype,
1:15.0	the substance of who Joshua represents, Yeshua, the true and eternal and salvific deliverer,
1:21.7	Jesus Christ, the Son of God himself, when a man enters covenant with Jesus, he immediately, from the moment of his
1:30.7	justification, garnishes for himself, the full might, the full power, the full protection, the full
1:39.2	defense of Jesus Christ. And the first, the first enemy that Jesus runs with all his might, with all his righteousness,
1:53.3	with all his power to defend us from eternally is the righteous, just wrath of God. Our greatest enemy from the moment of being conceived
2:08.7	in the womb is not our fellow man, but a thrice holy God that apart from saving faith in Jesus, apart from justification,
2:21.3	that is God declaring us righteous through faith, not works, on the basis of Jesus' perfect
2:28.0	obedience and not our own. Apart from that, apart from conversion, apart from justification,
2:33.8	from the moment that you're physically conceived in your mother's womb,
2:37.7	your greatest cosmic, eternal enemy is God, not man.
2:44.7	The greatest problem that any of us have is that God is holy and that we are sinners. But Jesus, the better Joshua,
2:57.7	comes to our defense. We don't merely have five different armies surrounding us, ready to make war.
