What Does Joshua 24:21 Mean?
The people will not be turned aside. 'Nay,' they answer, 'but we will serve the LORD.' Joshua's sober warning has not cooled their resolve but pressed them to declare it again, more firmly.
There is something good in a commitment that holds even after the cost has been named. They do not pretend the path is easy; they simply choose it. Faith that has heard the hard truth and still says 'we will serve the LORD' is the kind that can endure, provided it leans on grace to keep its word.
