Verses 6-8, 11 contain instructions that provide conditions for enjoying God’s salvation. Verses 12-13, 15-16 contain severe warnings against those who do not meet those conditions. Joshua’s second farewell sermon teaches how faith in Christ empowers us to obey our Lord and enjoy God’s life. There was no way God’s people could keep from “transgressing the covenant of the Lord” (v. 16). However, the good news is that on the cross, Jesus, the only perfect, Law-abiding citizen, gave His life so Believers could escape the wrath of God (cf. vv. 15-16).
