Through The Bible - Tamil - 09 (Joshua) by Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker explains that the Book of Joshua illustrates the battle against sin, comparing the Canaanites to the sins dwelling in the flesh. He clarifies the difference between the 'old man' (the mind wanting to sin, dealt with at new birth) and the 'flesh' (the source of temptation and desires). The central message is that believers must actively conquer the flesh by meditating on and obeying God's Word, which leads to a victorious life.

The book of Joshua illustrates the process of overcoming sin, which is the spiritual theme of the book. The speaker explains that while the Red Sea crossing represents the crucifixion of the 'old man' by God, crossing the Jordan symbolizes a second death—the daily crucifixion of the flesh's lusts. True Christian life requires actively putting the flesh to death one giant at a time, rather than just letting the old self die. The ultimate message is that believers must follow Christ's example by actively fighting sin daily.
