Bible Question: can you speak to Joshua 3:5 specifically? |
Bible Answer: According to this verse, God was going to show up - He was going to do wonders among them! No one could come into the presence of God unless they were purified. The Jews had to continually undergo purifying rituals. (Do a search on the word purify!) Compare the purification of the Israelites with that of Jesus, "who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds." Titus 2:14 Thankfully, Jesus is OUR purification, once and for all! Our sins are forgiven and we are declared righteous, the necessary condition for us to come before Holy God! |
