Why is Joshua a type of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Joshua symbolizes Christ as a savior who leads God's people to their promised inheritance.

Joshua’s name, meaning 'Jehovah is salvation,' aligns with the name of Jesus, illustrating that he is a foreshadowing of Christ. Just as Joshua brought the Israelites into the Promised Land, Jesus leads believers into eternal glory. Joshua’s successes signify Christ’s ultimate victory over sin, death, and hell, affirming that through Christ, we receive our promised inheritance of everlasting salvation, effected through His obedience and sacrifice.
