Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth.

The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.
In the beginning, in the book of Joshua was the preparation of the invasion of Jericho under the Lord’s request and spiritual guidance. One of the most powerful messages of this book about faith and obedience is the Lord’s covenant with His people. As it proven in considerable detail and throughout the 24 chapters of the book of Joshua that only through the grace of the Lord were battles won, in each victory, it edified God’s role in the Promised Land. God is exalted by the many illustrations of the marvelous way he led the people to the patriarchs Promised Land.
