Dying to our Flesh unto Trust

   


If Canaan represents our Heavenly abode, indeed, does not the wilderness represent our time here on earth, while Egypt is our lives before we were born-again by the Spirit of God? 

God’s people, although He offers Himself, and who He is to us, often murmur and complain, having still our flesh which fights against the Spirit of God. Regardless, God will still show us His glory in its fullness, as we trust in Him, crossing the finish line into the Promised land one day. 

As we know, Joshua and Caleb, were the only ones left to cross over, just like a remnant today, who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. This remnant consists of those who trust Him, by allowing Him to sanctify them, being conformed into Christ’s image, as a result. 

The rest of the Israelites were the ones who were God’s people, but who didn’t trust Him to protect and defend them, and they didn’t enter. They continued in their flesh, instead of surrendering it to the cross. But had they trusted Him, and had asked for forgiveness, they, too, could have entered in. On the other side, they would have found the grace of God to receive them.
