Why is Jesus referred to as our Joshua?

The name 'Joshua' means 'Savior' and is the same as 'Jesus' in Greek. Just as Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land after Moses, Jesus leads us to our inheritance through His death and resurrection. As stated in Galatians 4:4-5, He was sent to redeem those under the law, thus enabling us to be adopted as sons. This fulfills the promise made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, showing that our entrance into God’s eternal kingdom is solely through Christ’s merit. In this way, we can be assured that our inheritance is secured not by our works but by His grace.
