135. FAITH: "THE AIM AND ATTITUDE OF FAITH"

JOSHUA 6:8-20

1. The place of faith. "Before the Lord" (Jos 6:8; Phl 2:12).

2. The testimony of faith. "Blowing with the trumpets" (Jos 6:9; 1Th 1:8).

3. The attitude of faith. "Until I bid you" (Jos 6:10; Col 2:6).

4. The rest of faith. "Lodged in the camp" (Jos 6:11; 1Jo 2:28).

5. The activity of faith. "Rose early… took up" (Jos 6:12; Jam 2:22-26).

6. The continuance of faith. "Went on continually" (Jos 6:13-14; Jhn 8:31).

7. The perfection of faith. "Seven times" (Jos 6:15; 1Th 3:10).

8. The boldness of faith. "Shout" (Jos 6:16; Act 4:13).

9. The assurance of faith. "The Lord hath given" (Jos 6:16; 1Jo 5:10-11).

10. The recognition of faith. "Devoted (margin) to the Lord" (Jos 6:17; 1Pe 3:5).

11. The separation of faith. "Keep yourselves from the accursed thing" (Jos 6:18; 2Cr 7:1).

12. The service of faith. To bring the consecrated things "into the treasury of the Lord" (Jos 6:19; 1Cr 6:20).

13. The triumph of faith. "The wall fell down flat" (Jos 6:20; 1Jo 5:4-5).

14. The possession of faith. "They took the city" (Jos 6:20; Gen 22:17).

Thus we have in miniature what faith is, what faith brings, and what faith does.
