3. Joshua’s Challenge Act for themselves To choose whom they would serve
“choose you” – only one who can
To choose whom they would serve
Israel often served “gods” of people around them
May have seemed successful at times
God had delivered them from “gods” of Egypt and Canaan
Said they would serve Jehovah when faced with the facts

4. Joshua’s Challenge More than verbal commitment
First responsibility is to self
Joshua didn’t wait for their reply
1 Cor. 9:27; 1 Tim. 4:16; Acts 20:28
Wrong concern for others can be harmful
Often ask, “What about those who never heard; not baptized; loved ones; thief on the cross, etc.”
Should ask, “What do I need to do?”
